Christie looked at performance as a way of understanding individuals, groups and the world. She believed that we constructed our reality in interaction with others and studying performance enabled performers and audiences to interact with perspectives different than their own. She saw performance as embodying another. Through this performers and audience would empathize and take on the perspectives and point of views of others. This was an aesthetic experience, but also human relations development. Below is a list of productions Christie directed:
