About Me

I am a theater artist and scholar of contemporary performance based now in Brooklyn after many years in Berlin. I am also clinical associate professor in the English Department at New York University, where I serve as the director of the Program in Dramatic Literature.

Theater & Performance

My work probes theater’s possibilities as a civic practice. Over the last fifteeen years,  I co-founded and co-directed three ensembles – Culinary Theater, Shakespeare im Park Berlin, and the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization [UCMeP] – all of which explore contested public spaces as sites for postdramatic experimentation and alternative forms of sociality.

Research & Writing

As a teacher and a scholar, I am interested in modern and contemporary theater and performance, critical and aesthetic theory, public arts policy, as well as theories and practices of directing, devised theater, community-based and tactical performance. My book, Institutional Theatrics: Performing Arts Policy in Post-Wall Berlin was published by Northwestern University Press in 2021.

Upcoming

I am developing a number of projects: an outdoor foray into collective repair via amateur haberdashery; an olfactory investigation of the historical intersections of garlic and the Other; and a shapeshifting gustatory performance-tour of NYC neighborhood texture.”
