  • In general, at present, the relationship between bodies on stage and bodies in the audience, where the sorts of things the body does and is are historically specific. While this work ranges between medieval drama and live art, I have particular interests in early modern, melodramatic and modernist bodies.
  • Alongside this a specific interest in J P Wooler's journal The Stage (1814-16).
