Mark Cariston Seton

I'm the Director of Sense Connexion and an Honorary Research Associate, Department of Performance Studies, University of Sydney. Through personal and group training as well as consultancy in higher education institutions, I inspire savvy resilience in actors and other creative professionals. I have taught performance for stage and screen in many Australian Higher Education institutions. In 2009 I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate the holistic healthcare for actors in training and in the workplace in the UK. I have helped professional actors debrief from traumatising roles using my specially-designed Resilient Vulnerability© program. I am currently a co-researcher with the national Actors' Wellbeing Survey (University of Sydney and Equity Foundation). My most recent publication in Performing Ethos: International Journal of Ethics in Theatre & Performance is entitled “Traumas Of Acting Physical And Psychological Violence: How Fact And Fiction Shape Bodies For Better Or Worse”.
