Biography
Andy Houston (he/him/they) is an associate professor in the Theatre and Performance program at the University of Waterloo. He is a white, settler artist-researcher focused on site-specific performance to critically engage with social and political issues. He also interrogates notions of 'place' by experimenting with the interface between digital and live events. Andy has published broadly in his field, and he contends that performances located outside conventional theatre spaces pose important questions about participation, the gaze, private versus public acts, and the various rituals embedded in different environments.
