dr. Marlieke Wilders

I am an audience and reception researcher in the arts. I specialize in aesthetic experiences in relationship to the experience of space and place, focusing on theatre architecture and theatre space, found spaces, industrial heritage and (adaptive) re-use of heritage sites, festivals, theatrical events and the functioning of performing arts in the public domain. As an interdisciplinary researcher I am passionate about merging different research methods such as quantitative and qualitative methods, participant observation, archival research, cultural analysis, arts based methods and research through design into the best mix for confronting specific research questions. I am an experienced teacher with a broad background in the arts, teaching in the areas of arts sociology, artivism, arts-based methods, cultural policy, arts management and marketing, cultural leadership and methodology at BA, MA and ReMA level. I welcome PhD supervision in my areas of expertise.
