Derek Manderson

Derek Manderson is a Master’s student in the Theatre and Performance Studies program at York University. Currently, he is exploring how game design structures can scaffold audience participation to foster a safe space of play and co-creation. Derek is a passionate fan of all things games; if you’ve got a recommendation for one to try out, please feel free to share! As he looks forward to embarking on a PhD, Derek continues to think and write about approaching theatre academia from an accessible and educational lens to support productive learning environments in post-secondary classrooms.
