Mr Peter Case

The focus of much of my teaching is on acting, directing, devising and design.  I regularly deliver workshops covering conventional and emerging performing arts technologies along with practical stage crafts.  My teaching engages with external professional companies and artists and my own professional practice frequently informs my teaching pedagogy.  I am the international study abroad liaison officer and academic champion for the student mentorship programme.

Most recently (2023) I directed and performed an opera version of William Blake's The Book of Thel within a medieval ruin in the Italian countryside.  I have worked as an actor, director, designer and teacher nationally and internationally.  I was an associate artist at Wilton's Music Hall in East London, where I directed a number of different productions including, The Love Suicides at Sonezaki, Spinning Machines and Visions.  At La MaMa I performed in many shows including the title role in Herakles and directed Death and the Ploughman and Shekinah.  My current areas of practice research focus on multidisciplinary potentials in performance looking at site-specific/responsive settings, emerging technologies, Butoh dance, object animation/theatre, puppetry along with new and adapted texts synthesizing movement with acting.  I believe anything is possible.  My teaching includes work at Columbia University, MFA supervision at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Kingston University.
