Visiting Assistant Professor Michael Osinkski publishes article on devising theatre
Visiting Assistant Professor of Performance and Communication Arts Michael Osinski wrote an article for the Spring 2023 special issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of American Drama and Theatre, centered on revolutions in new work development. "How to Make a Site-Specific Theatrical Homage to a Film Icon Without Drowning in Your Ocean of Consciousness; or, The Saga of Red Lodge, Montana," details the lessons learned from co-creating and directing his 2019 Philadelphia Fringe Festival piece, inspired by the oeuvre of filmmaker David Lynch.
Osinski’s research specializes in devising new theatrical works that blend yesterday’s classic plays with today’s pop culture for tomorrow’s audiences. He seeks to craft experiences for audience members that go beyond the traditional theatergoing experience.
