Performance

My work sits at the intersection of theatre, cultural studies, political economy, and social transformation. As both a scholar and practitioner, I explore how performance operates as a mode of transdisciplinary knowledge creation and a catalyst for institutional, social, and economic change.

I’ve collaborated on and facilitated performance-based projects across a range of global contexts—from mining communities in South Africa and corporate training spaces in India to academic collaborations in the Middle East and applied theatre workshops in the United States. My background in theatre-in-education and applied drama grounds my belief that performance is not only a site of research, but also a practice with the power to transform. Through ethnographic inquiry, cultural analysis, creative practice, and cross-disciplinary and global collaboration, I position performance as a vital paradigm for understanding—and reimagining—the systems of work, labor, and power that shape our everyday lives.
