Genevieve Fowler

​​​Genevieve is a director, theater maker, writer, and arts administrator creating multidisciplinary performance that fosters community, contemporary critique, and sanguine dreams for the future. Her latest work, Long Stretches of Short Time, weaves together 10 years of recorded family secrets, the 1930s German philosophy of Walter Benjamin, and the communal ritual of the Passover Seder to explore sanity, survival, and how we face all of that which we’ve inherited. Long Stretches of Short Time was presented in February 2025 as part of ANTI-FRIEZE LA: Performance Festival.
Genevieve has worked in various capacities with The Kennedy Center, REDCAT, The Center for New Performance, Arts Council of Korea, CalArts, The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Lookingglass Theater, Steppenwolf’s 1700 Theater, Chicago Dramatists, Big Bridge Consortium, Heritage Arts Company, The Special Olympics of Illinois, and the senior citizen musical theater troupe Still Acting Up. Genevieve is a company member of Collaboraction Theater Company and artistic associate with Medina Theater Collective.
As part of her arts and social justice work Genevieve holds the position of Program Manager with Community Partners.
