Samara Hersch is an artist and theatre director whose practice explores the intersection of contemporary performance and community engagement. Her current research is an exploration into public acts of intimacy, proposing new artistic frames for non-professional performers and audiences to inhabit. Her recent body of work focuses on trans-generational dialogue with an enquiry into conversation as performance. These works include: Body of Knowledge, a work that invites teenagers to host conversations with adults regarding questions they have about the body and body politic, Sex and Death, an intimate encounter led by performers in their seventies and eighties and For the Time Being, a remote, inter-generational encounter created during the pandemic. Samara is currently an artist in residence at Theatre Rotterdam and is part of the EU Network; ACT; Art Climate Transition. She completed her Masters at DAS Theatre in Amsterdam (2019) and is based between the Netherlands and Naarm (Melbourne).
