Julia Lee Barclay is an award-winning director and writer, born in Providence, RI. She lived in NYC for most of her professional life, and, having lived and worked in London for the past eight years, returned home in October. She recently received a fully-funded practice-as-research PhD from University of Northampton (UK) in December 2009 (Apocryphal Theatre: practicing philosophies) and was the founding Artistic Director of Apocryphal Theatre in London from 2004-2011. Her writing has been published and performed internationally. She has taught workshops in techniques discovered in labs in NYC and London at many universities and venues throughout Europe and the US. In NYC the labs were housed by The Present Company and in London at Camden People's Theatre and The People Show. She is now focusing on her writing, including two books, one based on her PhD thesis demonstrating in theory and practice that theatre can be an act of philosophy and another based on the lives of her grandmothers 'The Amazing True Imaginary Autobiography of Dick and Jani.' Her research into these books and her ongoing artistic/writing practice looking at the space between identities, roles, words and countries is documented in her blog Somewhere in Transition. She is now Adjunct Assistant Professor at CUNY teach acting (Hunter) and interpersonal communications (Bronx Community College). Barclay continues to write plays and is always interested in meeting directors and companies that would like to collaborate. As she came to writing from directing, her plays leave a lot of latitude for directorial intervention and she is interested to see what new visions can emerge from other directors and/or collectives working on these texts.
