공연예술에서 에로틱하고 그로테스크하게 표현되는 다양한 몸들을 연구하고 있다. 특히, 동시대 공연예술이 소외된 몸에 의한, 몸을 위한 연대와 돌봄의 장이 될 수 있는지 관심을 두고 있다. 현재는 서강대학교 영문학부에서 학생들을 가르치고 있으며, 극단 성북동비둘기의 단원으로 활동하고 있다.
Dohyun Gracia Shin is a scholar and lecturer based in Seoul, Korea. Her research explores the embodiment of eroticism and the grotesque in theatre and performance, examining how artists perform these elements to usurp, challenge, and reject idealized bodily images. She asks: How does a performance become an ephemeral archive of memories, where artists navigate their corporeality, affects, and identities within dominant systems of power? How can such archival attempts create spaces of care, both within and beyond theatre?
Dohyun received her PhD in Theatre and Performance from The Graduate Center, City University of New York. Since 2025, she has been a resident dramaturg of Seongbukdong Beedoolkee Theatre, based in Seoul.
