Sarah Whitfield is a dramaturg who has collaborated and advised on a range of projects from site-specific immersive theatre to West End musicals. Her PhD thesis proposed a cultural materialist approach in revealing collaborative practices in music theatre, and consequently challenging established historiographies; she focuses particularly on the work of Kurt Weill.
Her performance work considers questions about disability, voice, and time. She is currently working on 'Mending Time', a piece which addresses questions about craft and art and on women's roles in that division.
She has a PGCHE in Creative and Academic Practices in Higher Education, from University College Falmouth. Her PhD was completed at Queen Mary, University of London, and her MA at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
