Professor Steve Dixon | Academic Leadership & Faculty at LASALLE Singapore

Professor Steve Dixon LASALLE

Professor Steve Dixon is a world-renowned academic, researcher and interdisciplinary artist with a distinguished career in both higher education leadership and the professional creative industries.

He joined LASALLE College of the Arts as its sixth President in February 2012.

Following a successful career as an actor and award- winning director of film and digital media productions, Steve became an academic in 1991. He quickly established an international reputation for his research in the use of media and computing technologies in the performing arts.

His 800-page book, Digital Performance is recognised as the most comprehensive scholarly work on the subject and won international awards including the Association of American Publishers Award for Excellence in Music and the Performing Arts. His latest book, Cybernetic-Existentialism: Freedom, Systems and Being-for-Others in Contemporary Arts and Performance (Routledge 2020) fuses philosophical and scientific ideas to propose an original aesthetic theory of contemporary arts.

He has an accomplished record as a strategic and visionary leader. Prior to LASALLE he was Head of the School of Arts, then Pro Vice Chancellor at Brunel University, London, where he spearheaded initiatives to develop business partnerships, secure multi-million pound research contracts and to maximise the external impact of the University’s portfolio of research and teaching programmes.

If you love the arts, there is no better place than at LASALLE to get serious about it. If you would like to find out more about studying at LASALLE, fill in your details here and we will get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
