Georgia Beckmann is currently pursuing a M.A. in Theatre with a specialization in performance as public practice at The University of Texas at Austin. She graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in 2021, where she majored in theatre and dance and was awarded the George E. Nichols III Prize in Theater Arts for best exemplifying high standards of artistic and intellectual achievement in theatre. Following graduation, Beckmann moved from her hometown of Somerville, Massachusetts, to New York, where she took on a curricular role for the Trinity/La MaMa Performing Arts Program. She has experience in arts education and administration, playwriting and theatre directing. Her current research interests include queer and feminist theatre and performance and representations of mourning. Beckmann recently returned from a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant grant placement in Lisbon, Portugal. While abroad, she also worked with the Lisbon-based Já International Theatre, where she wore a variety of hats, most notably as the chief production executor for JáFEST 2023, an international theatre festival sponsored by the European Union.
