Teaching

I have been teaching throughout my career, I still love it because it constantly feeds my work and keeps me in touch with each new generation of up and coming artists.

I am currently offering workshops to education institutions and businesses in PERFORMANCE WRITING / CONTEXTUAL STUDIES / COLLABORATIVE ARTS PRACTICE

I have taught freelance short courses all over the world, and have been connected to three higher education institutions for longer periods:

  • Arhus Theatre Academia Denmark. 1982- 1990
  • Dartington College of Arts. 1984 -2010
  • Sheersburg High School, Germany. 1983-1993
