Misri Dey - An extract from 'Taj A Chino Blues'
My current research specialism involves investigating solo devised performance, through a variety of modes. These have included making solo work nationally and internationally, an in depth series of interviews with highly experienced national and international solo devisor/performers, writing these materials up into two books and a PhD entitled Solo Devised Performance: a practitioner's enquiry. I also founded and co-ordinated the Solo Performance Forum at Dartington College of Arts 2004 - 2008, in which I organized a series of intensive making laboratories and a premiere of three new solo works in 2006. This is currently being revisioned, to launch again late next year as a Centre for Solo Performance, with laboratory, symposium and performance platforms.
My other research specialisms include physical movement practice for performance, including training at the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam and an MPhil in Contact Improvisation (Change Through Exchange - Contact Improvisation, University of Plymouth 1998 and other journal writings) and vocal and music theatre practice and development, as exemplified in my lead writing and award leading the new Music Theatre Award at University College Falmouth, launched in 2010.
Industry experience includes touring of devised solo and group performance works nationally and internationally with companies Travelling Light Theatre, Lusty Juventus, Singeltheater (Netherlands) and my own solo performance and radio works (Exeter Phoenix, Theatre Museum, London, British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Sangaam. I have also performed in numerous classical works at The Gate Theatre, London, Bristol Old Vic Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, London Coliseum, amongst others. Alongside, I have worked freelance as a workshop leader/director/researcher for companies and individuals that include amongst others Augusto Boal (Brazil), Baz Kershaw (UK), Tariq Ali (UK), Marina Warner (UK), MusicWorks (UK), Clean Break Theatre (UK), Singel Theatre (Netherlands), Slederloj Youth Theatre (Belgium), Bibi Miller (USA).
