About
Mark trained at the University of Birmingham (UK), and with classical Indian dancer Priya Srikumar, in Edinburgh. His doctorate was awarded by the University of Canterbury (NZ). Mark has worked as a director-choreographer, scriptwriter and creative producer for stage and television, and researches the integration of voice and movement training. His research seeks to elaborate an intercultural methodology for performance training. His teaching is a synthesis of the European practices of Rudolf Laban, Jerzy Grotowski and Roy Hart, with the hereditary and contemporary arts of the Māori people and the region of Kerala.
Over the past decade, Mark’s career in the Asia Pacific region has ranged from performance of his own solo dance works, to co-creation of a Māori pop opera with a symphony orchestra.
He has convened, and continues to arrange, international gatherings through which scholars and practitioners explore the interface of the martial arts and dance drama. Dr Hamilton is an affiliate of a number of academic and artistic professional bodies. Amongst these are: Asian Performing Arts Network, Dance Base (Scottish National Centre for Dance), and The Voice Studio International (UK); New Zealand Studies Network, New Zealand South Asia Centre, and Mika Haka Foundation (NZ); CVN Kalari East Fort Thiruvananthapuram & Samudra Performing Arts (Kerala, India).
