Conrad Alexandrowicz, MFA, is a Professor in the Department of Theatre at the University of Victoria, where he teaches movement and physical theatre creation for actors, and directs department productions. Over a decades-long career in performance he migrated from dance to theatre, and has been a dancer, dance critic, choreographer, writer of texts for dance, playwright, actor, director and producer. He created over fifty dance and physical theatre works, many of which were presented across Canada, and internationally, mainly under the producing auspices of the company he founded, Wild Excursions Performance. His writing has been published in Theatre, Dance and Performance Training, Studies in Theatre and Performance, and Theatre Topics. His first book, Acting Queer: Gender Dissidence and the Subversion of Realism, was published by Palgrave in February 2020. He is currently committed to exploring the possibilities for transformation of theatre education in response to the climate crisis. The co-edited collection that he instigated, and to which he contributed, entitled Theatre Pedagogy in the Era of Climate Crisis, was published by Routledge in May 2021.
