Dominika Uçar

Director Theatre-maker Visual Artist Producer

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 Deadweight, an experimental devised theatre company specialised in interactive work. We use audience participation and sensory experiences to challenge what we might define theatre to be.
