Writings


In July 2017, my book Rhythm in Acting and Performance, was published by Bloomsbury,  Methuen Drama. This text examines the ways rhythm has and is being used by performers, directors and trainers in the contexts of acting, theatre and performance, including historical studies, contemporary examples and interviews. Orders can be made through the Bloomsbury website, https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/rhythm-in-acting-and-performance-9781472589866/, and short sample and more details can be found by clicking the link below.

I am also currently in the process of curating a conference based on this text, to held in March 2021 in Athens and online. You can find details of the call for this event here.

More recently a chapter of mine was included in the Argentinian publication Ritmicidades: Cuerpos en jira. [2015-2019], a compilation of texts from the annual conference on rhythm in the arts held in Buenos Aires, which I presented at in 2017.
