Senior Lecturer in Devised Theatre & Co-Award Leader for MA Devised Theatre
Joanne ‘Bob' Whalley is a Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Co-Award Leader for MA Devised Theatre at University College Falmouth. Both her teaching and research focus on contemporary performance, in particular site-specific practices and devised theatre.
Bob completed the first joint practice-as-research PhD to be undertaken within a UK arts discipline in 2004. Working with her research partner, Lee Miller, they explored the 'non-place' (Marc Augé) of a particular stretch of the M6 motorway, and through various performance strategies attempted to reinscribe it as a place of 'everyday life' (Michel de Certeau).
Whalley and Miller are founder members of the fictional dogshelf theatre company and have been working together since 1999. Their practice-as-research displays an affinity and sensitivity towards place and site, and their performed interventions ask delicate questions of their (often accidental) audiences about narrative, everydayness and why certain actions seem to belong to certain places. Currently they are exploring the role of the dilettante, the amateur and the hobbyist, and where these positions sit in relation to skill, virtuosity and ways of performing.
Whalley and Miller's projects are documented online at www.dogshelf.com
