Mary McHarg

Biography

Mary (any pronouns) is a PhD student at Central Saint Martins, working on the project 'Ensemble Theatre Making at National Youth Theatre: Histories, Practices and Possibilities' as part of an AHRC funded Doctoral Landscape Award. They are an enjoyer of the space between theatre training and performance, the realm of 'amateur' theatre, informal archives and stuff that could be archived but isn't, critical performative pedagogies, rehearsal studies, ensemble work, and the (inter)disciplinary space between theatre studies, anthropology, history, and education studies.

Once upon a time, Mary was a sabbatical officer at UCL, and is still massively invested in students' unions and extra-curricular learning. They enjoy performing and directing when they're not too busy.

Mary is also a keen LARPer, and will not shut up about it if you ask him to show you pictures of them dressed as a wizard in a field.
