About Tiffany Murphy
Tiffany Murphy is an award-winning performer, performance maker and researcher, based in Brighton.
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 and ethical frameworks for performance to work with and through lived traumatic experience.
In 2019, Tiffany received funding from Arts Council England for her performance Anne Meets Jeffrey, created with Emma Berentsen.
She holds a BA (Hons) Theatre and Performance Studies from the University of Warwick and an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths, University of London. Tiffany is currently a PhD candidate in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex.
