My research over the last decade has opened up new understandings of the role of applied theatre in assisting people in recovery from addiction to socially reintegrate.Through practice-based projects, and academic publications my research continues to deepen and extend the understanding of the role of socially enganged arts in challenging social perceptions of addiction. I am a researcher-in-residence in Fallen Angels Dance Theatre, and I have extensive experience of planning and managing a series of projects with diverse community groups. I hold a Ph.D. in Drama at the University of Manchester, a PGCAP from Liverpool Hope University, an MA in Applied Theatre from the University of Manchester and a BA (Ptychion) in Theatre Studies from the University of Patras (Greece), and I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
