Sleep No More by Punchdrunk arrives in Seoul. I was invited by this publication to comment on the form. My PhD explored audience immersion and design, and I’ve previously written about Punchdrunk.

22년째 이어지는 체험의 마법… 왜 '슬립노모어'는 여전히 유효한가 | 한국일보
이머시브 공연 슬립노모어가 서울 매키탄 호텔에서 개막하며 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 관객이 직접 참여하는 체험형 무대로 한국 공연계에 새로운 트렌드를 제시하고 있다.

Delighted to share this piece I’ve written for The Stage, which explores how we might better centre and value design-led performance within the UK’s theatre ecology.

For 2 years, I’ve been an artist mentor for Future Lab, a European network of 12 venues + 14 artists collaborating to reimagine how theatre engages communities. Loved seeing the results in Luxembourg this weekend!

Great to see @variablematter.bsky.social ‘New Beginning’ illustrate how HE and industry can innovate together in complex times. A brilliant partnership between Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch.

Excited to receive support from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama to continue the impact work around Variable Matter's ‘New Beginning’ (2023).

It will be remade in partnership with Les Theatres de la Ville de Luxembourg theatres.lu/fr/newbeginn... in May 2025.
