Nadine Giese

Nadine Giese is a Lecturer at the Institute for Theatre Pedagogy within the Faculty of Management, Culture and Technology at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. Her academic trajectory includes a Diploma in Social Work/Social Education from FH Neubrandenburg (2001), a Playing Arts Mentoring Certificate (2005), and a Diploma in Theatre Pedagogy from FH Osnabrück (2007). She has been affiliated with the university since 2003, initially as a research assistant before assuming her current teaching role in 2009.

Giese's research explores experimental performative practices with focus areas including:

• Site-specific theatre interventions in unconventional spaces
• Non-verbal and physical theatre methodologies
• Choral and ensemble-based performance structures
• Interdisciplinary projects expanding traditional theatre boundaries
• Biographical theatre and body-movement expression

Her artistic practice frequently intersects with urban landscapes and social environments.

Giese co-founded the theatre duo TEATUR, creating performances that blend object manipulation, movement theatre, and experimental staging. Notable productions include Minus Taurus (2013-2015), Killt Dada (2016), and site-specific works presented internationally in Germany, France, and Iran. Her scholarly publications analyze performative practices in religious and social spaces, with recurring themes of spatial relationships and community engagement.

She maintains active artistic practice through TEATUR, developing experimental performances that challenge conventional theatre formats through interdisciplinary approaches combining visual arts, movement, and participatory elements.
