Christopher Adams-Cohen

Playwright Dramaturg Creative Producer Collaborative Deviser

My name is Christopher Adams-Cohen (they/them). I'm a playwright, dramaturg and collaborative deviser originally from Los Angeles, now based in London and studying at Goldsmiths (MA, Dramaturgy & Writing for Performance). I'm a queer, non-binary creator focused on blurring formal boundaries with multimedia collaboration, centering queer perspectives and history, and inhabiting unconventional spaces with site-specific concepts. I write to honour, examine and engage in dialogue with the lives and work of our queer forebears. I also have experience as a magazine editor and video game writer.
