I researched the similarities between a cognitive approach to acting and the physically-based training practice of Jacques Lecoq, specifically discussing how an understanding of cognitive science can aid in refreshing the explanations of Lecoq's theory. I have also taken part in module run by the outreach organisation, TiPP. This involved taking drama workshops into prisons and delivering these over a three day residency inside HMP Risley.Other modules: solo performance in Music and Drama, musicology, ethnomusicology, dramaturgy, screen studies, consumption of arts, and Drama in education.
