Theatre
Performance work
I received my earliest training within the Trinity College Speech and Drama assessment framework (Grades 4-7), under the tutelage of Nirmali Hettiarachchi during my high-school years in Colombo. I continued my undergrad training in theatre at the National University of Singapore.
I´ve been working with a number of semi-professional companies since 1997, while envisioning experimental ways of combining theatre praxis (of the Boal tradition), with teaching and community re/search.
