Teaching
I work with students to develop a critical understanding of performance arts practices in social, technological, and historical contexts.

I am Tutor in Music Philosophy and Aesthetics at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I am a Doctoral Supervisor and have curated the ‘Concept Methods’ section of doctoral training.
My teaching focuses on music in the contexts of the arts and society, with particular attention on philosophical and cultural theoretical questions. I teach across Bachelors and Masters programmes, working with students rooted in classical, jazz, electronic music, composition, and operatic practices. Together we explore areas such as: music and everyday life; sound studies; modernism and postmodernism; feminist aesthetics; phenomenology; music, capitalism, and critical theory; music and the body; the politics of sound; music and ecology; music and its technological mediation.
In addition to my work at Guildhall, I am Lecturer in Critical Performance Theory at London Contemporary Dance School.
My role focuses principally on developing student artists and practitioners, and facilitating their engagement with the theoretical and contextual dimensions of their practice. I teach across disciplinary boundaries, drawing on critical and cultural theory. Areas of teaching include: research methods for practitioners; power, politics, and the body; commodification and the performing arts; performance and feminist theory; race, intersectionality, and performance; ecological performance; the politics of artistic making.
