Research stories

Embarking on a PhD is unlike any form of education you have previously done.

Through curating audio-recorded material, video, photography and textual narrative, I focused on exploring the boundaries of the Evacuee Archive at the Museum of English Rural Life, and on extending its reach.

I’m a practitioner first, so one of the things I enjoy most is that I get to work on performance as part of my PhD.

I’m really interested in how different media interact, and what impact this has on the storytelling process and the experience of watching a performance.

We came up with the idea of an intermedial history of Brazilian cinema. It is a way of reconstructing the history of a national cinema through the ways in which it has conversed with other arts and media.
