Tatiana Chemi

Tatiana Chemi ( Naples , 07.03.1969) is Italian and has been living in Denmark since 1999. She is graduated in Italian Literature and Theatre and has a PhD in Contemporary European Theatre. She has been a teaching assistant for the Dept. of Dramaturgy at the University of Aarhus and teaching History of World Literature and Visual Arts at the Scandinavian Department of the Russian Theatre School GITIS.

Her research field is XIX-XX century theatre, contemporary avant-garde (especially Pirandello, Beckett and Odin Teatret), actor's techniques, improvisation and theories of humour. She has organized and run several cultural projects such as the international theatre meeting “The Multicultural Space” (DK 1-9 May 2002) and the Samuel Beckett Centenary in Denmark (November 2006), making her debut as a theatre director with the staging of the Beckett play Come and Go.

She writes for several theatre magazines (Ariel, Teatri delle diversità, Hystrio, Nordic Theatre Studies) and holds conferences and workshops on artbased innovation and creativity. Her interest for the arts-in-business led her to the idea and coordination of the workshops Artbase 2005 and the collaboration to Bramstrup Performing Arts (2005). She owns Amanthi, a consultant agency specialized in artbased processes for private corporations and public institutions.

She is involved in a pioneer research project on the outcomes of the arts-in-business’ strategies - by the provisory title Arts-in-business/Business-in-arts. Art as tool of changing process in corporations - in collaboration with the Aarhus School of Business and the Dept. of Dramaturgy at the University of Aarhus Denmark .
