Profile

Christine Giancatarino has worked in various capacities as a writing instructor and theater practitioner creating, performing, and dramaturging theater work.

Her theater interests include the dramaturgy of the body in performance, somatic inquiry in training, and devised/ensemble based performance.

She has presented somatic workshops at the LMDA “Crossing Borders” conference and the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, and presented as a panelist on writing pedagogy at the CCCC North and New Jersey Writing Alliance Regional conferences.
