Kimberly Jannarone researches and teaches dramatic literature and performance, especially experimental theater. She also teaches directing and dramaturgy, both of which she practices professionally. A central focus of her work is the politics of the audience/performer relationship.   Professor Jannarone's book, Artaud and His Doubles, University of Michigan Press, 2010, interprets the theater of Antonin Artaud in the intellectual and political history of interwar Europe. In Fall 2009, she was a Camargo Fellow in residency in Cassis, France, working on her next book, The Crowd in the Theater, which investigates mass performance through the lens of crowd theory and people's theaters.  She is currently editing Vanguards of the Right, a book about avant-garde innovation in the service of right-wing regimes.
