Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer on Theatre Studies, and the College International Dean in the College of Arts. Born in 1971 in Bühl in southern Germany and brought up in the Westphalian town of Schwerte I studied English, History and Pedagogy in Münster and graduated with the Staatsexamen and an MA. I then embarked on a PhD at the University of Hull, and subsequently worked as a teaching assistant (Lektor) in Modern Languages at the University of Hull and then as a Research Associate at Lancaster University before moving to Glasgow in 2006. I passionately support Borussia Dortmund, play football (badly) and the drums (mediocre), but love doing both.

Research Projects

European theatre under German occupation during World War II

- international and interdisciplinary project looking at those theatres under German occupation which were run as German language playhouses. Such theatres were founded all over Europe in countries occupied by the Germans with clear propagandistic aims and a political role behind the front line

- symposium "Dramaturgies of War" in January 2018 (https://dramaturgyatglasgow.wordpress.com/portfolio/dramaturgies-of-war/) 

- a number of linked publications already out including journal articles and a monograph with Routledge in 2017 (https://www.routledge.com/Theatre-in-Europe-Under-German-Occupation/Heinrich/p/book/9781138799530)

- funding received from RSE (2010, 2015, 2017), DAAD (2012), and further support received from the Goethe Institut Glasgow and Routledge publishers


Dramaturgy, performance and politics in pre- and post- 1989 East Germany

Focus on the collaboration between Alexander Weigel and Heiner Müller at the Deutsches Theater Berlin. The project will particularly discuss their work on three productions: The Scab (1988), Hamletmachine (1989/90) and Mauser (1991). The focus will be on the dramaturgical processes of the team Weigel-Müller with respect to these three productions (widely regarded as Müller's most influential) and in the context of radical political change outside of the theatre. Interviews, archival research, publications. Successful funding application to Carnegie Trust.

The reception of Shakespeare in Nazi Germany

International and interdisciplinary research project looking at a number of plays (Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra, Macbeth, Richard III, Taming of the Shrew) and investigating to what extent Nazi propaganda put claims on these and Shakespeare more generally. Early journal publication in New Theatre Quarterly (2012).
