Dominika Uçar

Director Theatre-maker Visual Artist

I am a director, theatre-maker and visual artist born in London. I am interested in discovering an interdisciplinary and design-led way of making and I have a curiosity for dark humour and the use of laughter as a political tool in theatre. I’m also drawn to examining corporate spaces and the impact of the modern workplace.

In 2022, I co-founded an experimental devising theatre company under the name Deadweight. With this company, we mostly create immersive work that uses audience participation and sensory experiences to challenge what we might define theatre to be.
