Academic interests

Sarah WhitfieldSarah Whitfield is a dramaturg who has collaborated and advised on a range of projects from site-specific immersive theatre to West End musicals.

Her PhD thesis proposed a cultural materialist approach in revealing collaborative practices in music theatre, and consequently challenging established historiographies; she focuses particularly on the work of Kurt Weill.

Her performance work considers questions about craft and labour, often working with small acts of repairing broken objects. She is currently working on a series of pieces entitled, 'Mending Time', which addresses questions about craft and art and on women's roles in that division.
