Sam Trubridge
Associate Editor - Oceania
Sam
Trubridge is a performance designer and artistic director for the
multi-disciplinary performance platform, The Playground NZ Ltd. With

Italy) and the award-winning Sleep/Wake: a collaboration between sleep
science and performing arts that opened in the Auckland Festival of the
Arts in 2009.
Trubridge has lectured in Europe, Asia and the Americas; and published
articles on performance in various international publications
(Illusions, Theatre Forum, and Performance Paradigm). In 2010 he
extended the Sleep/Wake collaboration with The Waking Incubator: a
trans-disciplinary symposium with performing arts practitioners and
sleep scientists (www.waking.co.nz). Trubridge is currently a lecturer
in Spatial Design at Massey University, Wellington, NZ. Prior to this
he coordinated Massey’s cutting edge Performance Design Degree with Toi
Whakaari, NZ Drama School. He has also worked at programming events and
residencies in Massey’s Print Factory Performance Laboratory for two

and the dynamic relationship between performance and
audiences/communities. In late 2010 he directed and designed Ecology in

curated a new performance concept, The Performance Arcade, which opened

Aotea Square in 2011. This project invited a range of performance and
media artists to escape the gallery or theatre spaces and present their
works in a densely programmed space of activity, opening up new
dialogues with audiences of the 21st century.
