John Keefe
John Keefe is a senior lecturer in the Art, Architecture and Design School, London Metropolitan University. He has worked as a lecturer in theatre-film-performance, theatre director, performance dramaturg and researcher since 1979 across the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Norway and Germany. Research and publications are centred on the notion of ‘dramaturgies’ of the physical in theatres, of spectatorships, of ethics and theatres, of the ‘new’ and recycling and of the embodied mind that informs theatre making and viewing. On this subject and its reach, he was awarded a Ph.D. by Prior Publication and Commentary (2013) under the title ‘A spectatorial dramaturgy: Ethical principles of re-cycling, habitus and estrangement’. His most recent publication is Staging and Re-cycling: Retrieving, Reflecting and Re-framing the Archive (with Knut Ove Arntzen, Routledge, 2020).
