Event overview
Part of the spring programme of the Research Seminar on the Theory, Practice and History of Performance.
Jerri Daboo is a Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of Exeter.
She worked professionally as a performer, director and teacher for almost fifteen years, before taking up the position of Lecturer in 2004.
Her research and teaching focus on a range of diverse, yet interconnecting areas, which explore issues of the bodymind, culture and identity in training and performance. She has trained and taught for many years in martial arts, yoga, Buddhism, Indian dance, movement, physical theatre, body awareness and improvisation, and utilises principles from these in her work with actors and dancers.
Her practical and theoretical research areas take an intercultural and interdisciplinary approach to examining actor and dancer training and performance; the work of Michael Chekhov; ritual performance, with a focus on the Southern Italian ritual of tarantism; neurophysiology and sport psychology in relation to the bodymind of the performer; and the connection between culture, place and identity, with particular reference to the British Asian community.
All welcome.
Wine will be served.
