Theatre and Neurodiversity

Amy Skinner is Associate Professor in Co-Production in Mental Health Research in the Institute for Social Justice at York St John University, UK. She specialises in neurodivergence, mental health and creativity, with a background in theatre making and scenography. She has also written about the history of scenography and performance design (for example, her book Meyerhold and the Cubists, longlisted for the 2019 Prague Quadrennial book prize). Amy is particularly interested in the relationship between neurodivergent experience and creative practice, and works particularly on co-produced research with other neurodivergent collaborators.
