About Mareike Dobewall
Dr. Mareike Dobewall is an internationally acclaimed director, scenographer, composer, and educator based in Stockholm since 2016. With a diverse professional background that spans film, theatre, dance, opera, installation art, radio, and sound performance, she brings a unique interdisciplinary approach to her work.
In 2021, Mareike completed her PhD at Stockholm University of the Arts in the Performative and Media-based Practices program, with a specialisation in Opera. Her thesis, "Voicelanding – Exploring the Scenographic Potential of Acoustic Sound in Site-Sensitive Performance", underscores her expertise in site-sensitive practices within sound art and the performing arts.
Mareike's work is not bound to a genre but rather crosses the boundaries of genres and includes various art forms. She has a passion for working in situ and with environments. Over the past three years, she has developed several "nature scores" —patterns found in nature that are transformed into musical scores and interpreted in collaboration with musicians—demonstrating one of the many ways she engages with her surroundings.
