Meet The Facilitators
Antje Budde
Antje Budde (安琪。布德) studied theatre sciences (Theaterwissen-schaften), cultural communication and modern Chinese Studies at Humboldt-University in Berlin and at the Central Academy of Drama (中央戏剧学院) , Beijing.
Antje has co-founded several artistic collectives and labs, grounded in critical practices of queer-feminist artistic research.
Budde’s research in recent years focussed on digital literacy, digital dramaturgy in/as experimental performance, the interdisciplinary concept of the performing arts/media as “being for others”, disappearing technologies/ anArcheology/ sustainability, and the development of a critical and innovating praxis and philosophy of A/I (artistic intelligence) in the context of AI imperialism/ colonialism and the harmful disentanglement of the material reality from the virtual.

Silvija Jestrovic
Silvija Jestrovic studied playwriting and dramaturgy at the University of Belgrade (1989–1992) and completed her postgraduate studies at the University of Toronto in 2002. From 1990 to 1996 she worked as a freelance playwright, dramaturge and television journalist. Before coming to Warwick in 2005, Silvija was SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow and lecturer at York University in Toronto. Whilst at Warwick she has designed modules that address her interest in performance and exile, avant-garde theatre, playwriting, and theatre and performance theory. She also has a special interest in the interdisciplinary and collaborative research and teaching. This is reflected through her on-going international partnership with colleagues from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (India) and University of Arts Belgrade (Serbia) among others, and in her work with the Warwick Politics and Performance Network.
