Shane Pike
Dr Shane Pike is a lecturer in drama at the School of Creative Practice, Queensland University of Technology (QUT). He is a writer/director of theatre and a practice-led researcher, two of his published plays Nineteen (Playlab, 2019) and The Boys of St Crispian (Playlab, 2018) are based on several years of research into notions of identity amongst young Australians. A Ph.D. graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, his performative works have appeared on stages across Australia, South Korea and Brazil. With an emerging body of scholarship unpacking dramatic (re)presentations of masculine identity, his articles ‘Articulating the inarticulate: Performance and intervention in masculine gender (re)presentation’ (Social Alternatives, 2017) and ‘Make it so: Communal augmented reality and the future of theatre and performance’ (Fusion Journal, 2018) combine this theory with technology, positing the potential for augmenting and artificial technologies to enhance and deepen the live theatrical experience.
