Sam Čermák

Sam Čermák is a Teaching Associate in the Department of Drama at Queen Mary University of London's School of English and Drama. His research focuses on disentangling Slovak and Czech histories of performance art from 1960 to 1989, with a particular emphasis on interrogating the political aspects of queer bodies in public spaces through fetish and sex cultures. He co-organised the 2022 conference 'Performance and State Violence' as part of the QUORUM organisational committee. His teaching includes current modules like DRA120 Interventions and past courses such as DRA114 London/Culture/Performance.

Research interests encompass Eastern European theatre studies, queer theory, and the intersection of performance with political and cultural dynamics. His practice-based work bridges academic research and live performance, examining socio-political themes through embodied and spatial interventions.
