معرفی
Sidsel Graffer serves as an Assistant Professor at the Norwegian Theatre Academy within Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, specializing in the critical intersection of theatre, spatial design, and architectural theory. Her academic profile reflects deep engagement with performative scenography and institutional manifestations of spatial practices through extensive publication output.
Her research centers on spatial curation, theatre architecture rehabilitation, and the dynamic relationship between site-specific performance and spectatorship. Key interests include the political dimensions of spatial appropriation, atmospheric design in theatrical contexts, and historical analyses of Norwegian theatre buildings – particularly evident in her multi-year study of Oslo's National Theatre. Her methodological approach bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in contemporary performance design.
Analysis of her 2018-2024 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: 1) Scenographic reformatting and spoliation typologies examining spatial transformation processes 2) Institutional manifestations of performative design strategies in cultural infrastructure 3) Critical discourse around theatre rehabilitation and architectural heritage. These strands consistently explore how spatial configurations shape artistic ecosystems and audience experiences, with increasing focus on atmospheric perception and material agency in recent works.
