Expertise

My research treats early modern-contemporary Iberian and Spanish American theater and drama, especially texts written by women.

In recent years, my research has focused attention on performance, translation, and adaptation.

I also recently published several essays on translating and adapting classical plays for the modern stage and on the mutual influence of performance theory and the creation of theatrical spectacle. My current work includes an article-length study of Spanish street theater; the essay focuses attention on the annual Moors and Christians performances that take place in the Valencia-Alicante region.
