Biography

I am an arts educator, practicing installation artist, and past professional television producer, director, videographer, editor, and theatre practitioner. I have created art installations and performance art projects in art galleries and site-specific venues in SK, BC and the UK, and was theatre school director, actor, and Theatre-in-Education actor/educator with Kaleidoscope Theatre Productions, Victoria, BC, and Coventry Theatre-in-Education team, UK. I hold a Doctor of Philosophy in Arts Education, from Simon Fraser University and have taught at the university level in BC for seven years teaching theatre and drama education, television and film studies/production, visual culture, science fiction, literary structures, gender and literary theory, and comparative literature studies. I regularly contribute articles to arts and education journals in the UK and Canada, and have presented papers at arts and education conferences in Australia, England, Czechoslovakia, and Canada. My most recent published articles include, "Educational Relevance of the Arts in a Technocratic World“ and Inter-facing Reflexive Pedagogy.” Active, creative participatory engagements of inquiry allow for moments of recognition to interrupt, disrupt, and challenge the seeming obvious and immediate world around us….It seems that the relationship between what we see and what we know is never settled.
