She looks ace and totally right for the project....
I have an additional suggestion, http://alisonjcarr.net/ - I only know her through twitter, but it sounds like she does some pretty interesting stuff. As well as giving papers on her subject, she gives performances too I believe. Her PhD is on fine art and it's practise-lead/based. And she interviews show-girls. She sprang to mind as soon as we started talking about events, workshops etc....
