Bio/Research
Daniel Mroz is an associate professor in the Department of Theatre of the University of Ottawa, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate theatre courses in English and French. He holds a PhD in the practice of interdisciplinary arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal (2005).
Mroz apprenticed as a performer under Canadian director and acting teacher Richard Fowler and his company Primus Theatre from 1993 to 1997. In 2005 Mroz co-founded One Reed Theatre Ensemble, a Canadian company devoted to the creation of devised physical theatre that emerged from his work with four graduates of English Acting Program of The National Theatre School of Canada. Since the fall of 2009 he has been the artistic and pedagogical director of Les Ateliers du corps, a long-term practical research studio based in Ottawa/Gatineau and funded by a SSHRC Research/Creation Grant. The objectives of the studio are to innovate in the pedagogy of performer training, to create original performances and to facilitate the development of highly qualified people in the field of contemporary theatre.
A longtime student of Chinese martial arts, Mroz has combined his martial movement training with the embodied approach to acting he learned from Primus Theatre. The resulting approach is called The Dancing Word, an integrated system of performer preparation and original performance composition.
Daniel Mroz’ principal area of activity is in research/creation, focusing on devising original performances and innovating in the pedagogy of performer training.
