Broderick D. V. Chow
Broderick D. V. Chow is Lecturer in Theatre and Drama at Brunel University, London. His research applies an auto-ethnographic and practice as research lens to the intersection of physical performance practice and political theory. He has written articles and presented papers about professional wrestling, parkour (free-running), and actor training. With collaborator Tom Wells, he is one half of the dance and physical theatre duo The Dangerologists. His present research focuses on performance and sport, and he is currently working on two projects: a study of the ongoing controversy over the removal of wrestling from the Olympic Games in relation to ideas of democracy and sovereignty, and an ethnographic project on masculinity, the fitness industry and the neo-liberalization of work.
