With a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Performance Studies, Mish Weaver teaches technical and devising skills, and lectures in Performance Studies, currently at National Centre for Circus Arts, London.

In July 2020 Mish is the recipient of an Unlimited micro-award to investigate neurodiverse thought processes with thrown objects.
