Practice as Research
Emma is interested in exploring performance practice as research as an approach to early modern drama. She has directed a number of practice as research productions and public workshops, working with Shakespeare's Globe, the Wellcome Collection, UCL, King's College London, and New College, Oxford. These include: a workshop staging of Paradise Lost ​at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse; a workshop on staging early modern witchcraft narratives at Northern Stage; a cue-script staged reading of the little-known Tudor interlude Tom Tyler and His Wife, UCL; a staging of Ben Jonson’s Masque of Queens at New College, Oxford; a Research in Action Workshop on 'Sounding Offstage Worlds' (with Sarah Lewis) in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse; Dickens’ Is She His Wife? at King’s College London and the Charles Dickens Museum; a workshop on ‘Performing Darkness' at the Wellcome Trust ‘Festival of Light’; a production of ‘The Tragedy of Thomas Merry’ from Two Lamentable Tragedies, using original rehearsal methods, at UCL;  and a Jacobean-style staging of Samuel Daniel’s The Tragedie of Cleopatra ​at UCL.
