JEREMY GOREN is a multidisciplinary performing artist, primarily in devised works, with a focus on experimental, socially engaged performances that can verge into community work and/or activism. He joined AnomalousCo as a Co-Artistic Director in 2022. Formerly a longtime collaborator with both Polina Klimovitskaya’s Terra Incognita Theater and the U.S.-based projects of The Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards, Jeremy co-created Wistaria Project where his work You Will Make A Difference was called “A truly experimental and immersive experience….Avant-garde yet deeply felt” (Flavorpill), and Wistaria received 5 stars and ‘Best of the Capital Fringe’ from D.C. Metro Theater Arts. He has been a Lincoln Center Directors Lab Master Artist, Alivewire Theatrics A/M/P Resident, long-time Resident Artist at The Center at West Park, and four times a LEIMAY Fellow.
Working with other artists and organizations variously as performer/director/producer, recent projects include: directing Saviana Stanescu's new Zebra 2.0 and facilitating workshops for Target Margin Theater's Here & Now oral-storytelling project. Training for years with both Klimovitskaya and with Mario Biagini of The Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards, Jeremy also trains actors of all ages – from youth beginners to adult professionals (and youth professionals and adult beginners) – with methodologies built from his training and his own years of performing experience.
Jeremy holds a M.F.A. in Performance and Interactive Media Arts from CUNY Brooklyn College and B.A. degrees in Spanish Language and Literature, Latin American Studies and Journalism from Brandeis University, which included a year of study at la Universidad de la Habana in Havana, Cuba. He has published writing in English and Spanish, primarily about film, theater and immigration.
