Marcus Droß

Marcus Droß studied Applied Theater Studies at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. From 1996 to 2012 he worked as a freelance director, dramaturg and artistic mentor with artists and collectives in the fields of music theater, performance and choreography, for festivals, residency programs, co-production houses and in artistic education. From 2012 to 2022, Marcus Droß was dramaturg and program curator at Frankfurt's Künstlerhaus Mousonturm. As part of a long-term reconceptualization of the Mousonturm's role as an artistic and cultural-political partner institution of the regional independent scene, he developed mediation, research and production formats in the field of dance and performance and initiated and accompanied the dramaturgical development and production of performances. He was part of the co-direction of the Frankfurt edition of the festival Politik im Freien Theater 2022, which was conceived and organized in close collaboration with the regional independent scene and for which Mousonturm was responsible for its execution. In September 2022, Marcus Droß took over the management and artistic directorship of the Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm together with Anna Wagner.
