| Bio: |
Bio: Helen is a pioneer of cyberformance. She has collaborated
with Desktop Theater (www.desktoptheater.org), presented her work
at the Odin Teatret in Denmark and is currently working on a research
project, The ABC Experiment (www.abcexperiment.org), investigating
the meeting points between theatre and cyberformance. The ABC Experiment
developed from a presentation at the Transit Festival, Odin Teatret,
Denmark (January 2001), where cyberformance was challenged as not
being "theatre", lacking a "body" and "emotion".
This inspired Helen to create a project that would respond to the
questions raised. The project has received funding from Creative
New Zealand and will be presented at the Wellington Fringe Festival,
February 2002. Helen's other work includes an internship with Franklin
Furnace Archive (February 2001); professional productions of her
plays in New Zealand; writing, research and project management for
web sites and CD-ROMs; and reviewing the Edinburgh Festivals for
New Zealand magazines. She holds a BA in Drama and English Literature
(Otago University, 1992).
