Director, Author, Teacher, Performer, Founder of the Physiovocal Approach

Throughout the past few years, Dr. Robert Lewis (2017) has been involved in a wide range of performance, teaching, and research projects. He continues as the voice teaching artist for NIDA Open and Studio programs in Melbourne, teaches a variety of performing arts subjects for Charles Sturt University, and coordinates the The Art of Being Human acting school (Melbourne studio). Robert authored The Third Space: Body, Voice and Imagination (Routledge, 2024), co-edited and contributed a chapter to Crisis and Creativity in Performing Arts Training (Cambridge, 2024), and to Authentic Voices: An Australian Perspective on Neurodiversity in the Performing Arts (Routledge, 2025). He continues to convene, coordinate, and present at the AusAct: Australasian Actor Training Conference, which to date, has been held at WAAPA, QUT, Federation University, Charles Sturt University and Flinders University.

Robert’s recent theatre writing credits, which have been performed in Melbourne over the past few years, include ’Scarabs,” ‘Rock and Roll Ghost Story,” “Beasts,” and ‘Crows,” which was co-written with award-winning playwright Ryan Enniss, and involved a two- week residency at La Mama Theatre in Melbourne, working on a collaborative theatrical piece, ‘Hundreds and Thousands.” Robert is currently looking at certification in the Physiovocal Approach, which has been developed over the past two decades, solidified as a result of the One Voice Course, and outlined in The Third Space. He hopes to see the first cohort through very shortly. For more information regarding the Physiovocal Approach and the certification program, please email robelewis@csu.edu.au
