I owe a great debt to my supervisor, Katya Johanson, who has been my mentor, guide, and champion. I am grateful for the additional mentorship and support of Jordan Beth Vincent and Amanda Coles throughout this process, as well as my colleagues at the Deakin Motion.Lab, Peter Divers and Deanne Czarnecki. Professor Brenda Cherednichenko, Professor Joe Graffam, and Professor Jack Reynolds each played a role in supporting my studies at Deakin University, for which I am extremely thankful. My work would not have been possible without the support of my parents, sister, and husband, all of whom provided much-needed feedback, editing, and encouragement over the past four years. Additional thanks to Kim Vincs and Richard Mills for envisioning the possibilities of digital scenography in practice and giving me the opportunity to pursue this field of research.
