Boenisch, originally from München/Germany, is Professor of Dramaturgy at Aarhus University, and also a part-time Professor of European Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London. His research areas are theatre direction, dramaturgy and the intersections of theatre and politics, as they become manifest in aspects such as spectatorship, the institutional conditions of theatre production, and transcultural performance in a globalised Europe. His books include Directing Scenes and Senses: The Thinking of Regie (2015), The Theatre of Thomas Ostermeier (co-authored with the German director, 2016), and, as editor, the volume Littlewood – Strehler – Planchon in the series The Great European Stage Directors (with Clare Finburgh Delijani, 2018), the 30th anniversary edition of David Bradby and David Williams’s seminal Directors’ Theatre (2019), and The Schaubühne Berlin under Thomas Ostermeier: Reinventing Realism (2020). He currently works on the research project Reconfiguring Dramaturgy for a Global Culture: Changing Practices in 21st century European Theatre, funded by the Aarhus University Foundation. At Aarhus University, he is also coordinator of the research group Paradigms of Dramaturgy: Arts, Institution and the Social within the interdisciplinary research programme Cultural Transformations.
