About Tiffany Murphy

Tiffany Murphy is a performer, performance maker and researcher based in Sussex.

Tiffany’s doctoral research adopts a queer feminist lens of failure as a means to engage with sexual/gendered trauma, with a focus on developing reparative, ethical and trauma-informed frameworks for performance to work with and through lived traumatic experience. Her thesis interrogates performance’s ability to take on trauma, questioning what tools, if any, live performance can offer to access circuits of disclosure, witnessing and responsibility, and the kinds of ethical challenges engendered.
