Kristin Flade studied Theatre Studies at the Free University of Berlin. Her works deal with the relation between artistic and academic research, and try to negotiate liminal spaces in between these. In these spaces she explores questions of "self" and "other“, of representation and violence, virtual and corporeal effects of performance, and archiving.
