Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink

Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink is a Junior Teacher/Researcher in Theatre Studies. Her areas of interest are theory and analysis of theatre, dramaturgy, the use of technology in theatre and site-specific theatre. Before enrolling in Theatre Studies at Utrecht University, she spent two years at a visual arts academy. After her studies she worked for several years as a dramaturgy teacher, assistant-director and dramaturge. In 2005 she became a member of the regular staff of Theatre Studies.

She recently started her PhD on 'nomadic theatre', a concept she uses in order to analyze contemporary theatre performances in which performer/spectator relationships can be qualified as mobile. Drawing from Gilles Deleuze en Rosi Braidotti, aspects of spatiality, subjectivity and performativity will be central issues in this research project.
