신도현 (Dohyun Shin)
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. 서강대학교 영문학부에서 조교수로 재직 중이며, 극단 성북동비둘기의 단원으로 활동하고 있다.
Dohyun Shin is an Assistant Professor of English at Sogang University. Her research explores the embodiment of eroticism and the grotesque in modern and contemporary theatre and performance. She examines how artists perform these elements to usurp, challenge, and reject idealized bodily images, asking: How does a performance become an ephemeral archive of memories, where artists navigate their corporeality, affect, and identities within dominant systems of power? How can such archival attempts create spaces of care, both within and beyond theatre?
Dohyun's essays and reviews have appeared in Theatre Journal, Modern Drama, and Journal of American Drama and Theatre, among others. Since 2025, she has been a resident dramaturg of Seongbukdong Beedoolkee Theatre, based in Seoul.
