My friend John Hall, who has died aged 80, was a senior lecturer and later vice-principal at Dartington College of Arts in Devon, where in 1994 he helped to create one of the UK’s first degrees in performance writing.
He was also a published poet, with a collection of poems, Between the Cities, that appeared in 1968, followed regularly by others until 1981, all of them exhibiting a combination of sharp observation and rueful candour.
