Michael Eickhoff studied history, German language and literature, and sociology in Bielefeld and Paris. Since 2000, he has worked as a production manager, dramaturg, curator, and lecturer for various theaters (Theater Bonn, Wiesbaden, and Bielefeld) and universities. From 2010 to 2020, he served as (chief) dramaturg on the artistic leadership team at Schauspiel Dortmund under the artistic direction of Kay Voges. There, he supported a wide range of productions, curated discourse series, festivals, and international guest performances, and helped develop the concept for the Academy for Theater and Digitality.
He is particularly interested in theater that engages in dialogue with diverse social actors—in exchange with political-artistic activism, journalism, and a variety of related artistic disciplines.
Since summer 2020, he has been part of the Academy for Theater and Digitality, where he is responsible for Dramaturgy and International Networking and collaborations between the arts, academia, and business.
