Sigrid Merx
Dr Sigrid Merx is an Assistant Professor Theatre Studies at Utrecht
University where she teaches in the BA programme Theater, Film and Television
Studies and in the MA programme Theater Studies. She is also a lecturer at
University College Utrecht in the BA programme Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Previously she was a middle school drama teacher and was active as a playwright,
writing coach and dramaturge in several youth theatre productions. June 2009 she
finished her Phd thesis on video and the (re)presentation of time in the Proust
cycle, a series of four performances by Flemish director Guy Cassiers. In her
current teaching she focuses on theatre and performance in the context of other
media and performance. In future research she wants to explore theatricality in
politics and political art in order to outline what she calls "a dramaturgy of
engagement".
Sigrid is also member of the board for the Domein voor Kunstkritiek (Institute
for Art Criticism) and is still active as a freelance writer and dramaturge,
especially in community art projects. March 2009 she won the Prijs Jong
Docenttalent 2009, for being the the most inspiring and innovative young Utrecht
University teacher of the year. As winner of this price she was granted access
to Nebula, a selective group of young ambitious teachers who strive to improve
the quality of teaching at Utrecht University and to bridge the gap between
research and teaching.
