Marcus Lobbes

Director of the Academy for Theater and Digitality, the sixth division of Theater Dortmund, newly founded in 2019.

As artistic director of the Dortmund Academy, he is in demand locally, nationally, and internationally for lectures and discussions; one of his main concerns is the formation and promotion of a wide variety of networks for the performing arts, as well as the communication of artistic research in correspondence with the latest technologies to theater and educational institutions, politicians, and audiences.

Since 1995, he has worked as a director, set designer, and author in music and spoken theater, and since 2014 he has also been regularly invited as a guest lecturer to various renowned colleges and universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
