Biography

-B.A. German/Spanish, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

Having closely examined the efficacy of Titus Hoffmann's German translation of the 2012 Broadway musical Next to Normal, I find myself interested in storytelling in translation and the possible permutations in understanding and meaning wrought by the inability of any one language to map itself onto another perfectly. I am particularly drawn to examining how the theatre works to shape the world and how various languages and cultures understand it.
