was
a passionate and widely respected scholar, best known for her
extensive
involvement with the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas
Richards as well
as her ethnographic work with Guillermo Gómez-Peńa and his
company, La Pocha
Nostra. Her publications include <i>Grotowski’s Objective Drama
Research </i>(University Press of Mississippi 1996) and <i>The
Grotowski Sourcebook </i>(Routledge 1997), co-edited with
Richard
Schechner. In 2008, she co-edited with Mario Biagini and Antonio
Attisani <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Doorways:
Performing as a Vehicle at the
Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards</i> (Seagull
Press) and
coedited with Kris Salata a special issue of <i>TDR </i>that
examines
Grotowski’s lingering influence on artists and scholars around
the world. This
scholarship was informed by her extensive experience as a
dramaturg—including
work with La Pocha Nostra and Cleveland’s Theatre Labyrinth—and
longstanding
commitments to devised theatre. Lisa was a founding Vice
President of Performance
Studies international (PSi) and served as Program Chair for the
2010 PSi
conference held in Toronto. </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;

the
Department of Theatre at York University where she began as
Associate Professor in 2006, and in her previous position at
Bowling Green
State University, Lisa was a beloved teacher and a strong
advocate for students
and junior faculty. She brought to her classes tremendous
critical insight,
warmth, and humour, and instilled in her students a passion for
merging theory
with practice. She worked closely with graduate students as
Director of the
MA/PhD Program in Theatre Studies, and helped to create a
challenging and
forward thinking environment for advanced study. This past
summer, she was
instrumental in bringing Mario Biagini from the Workcenter of
Jerzy Grotowski
and Thomas Richards to York for an intensive Summer Institute.
For all that she
brought to the Department of Theatre and the Faculty of Fine
Arts, she will be
sorely missed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
