My research focuses on the modern performance of Greek tragedy. I am working to combine research into the transmission and performance histories of the Greek tragedies with the insights afforded by the theoretical lenses of translation, adaptation and reception theories to develop a new methodology for engaging with Greek tragedy. I am also interested in embodied ways of knowing and questions surrounding practice-as-research.

My PhD dissertation is provisionally titled 'Not an origin, but a future: Fragmenting Greek tragedy’s role in contemporary cultures of text-based drama'.
