Lonnie Jasper

Lonnie Jasper is a Berlin-based dramaturg, curator, and network designer. As a social scientist (BA) and dramaturg (MA), Lonnie is convinced that sustainable theater structures require reflection on their maker’s social position and responsibility.
Most recently, Lonnie co-curated the Artist Lab “performing for peers” to evaluate emerging professionals’ aesthetics and audience relationships. Before this, they were a project manager at the Alliance of International Production Houses (HAU Berlin, Kampnagel Hamburg, and others), where they were responsible for curating qualifying, networking, and consulting formats for the independent performing arts.
Lonnie developed the documentary object theater piece “und samstags staubsaugen” with Josephine Hock, was co-host of the podcast “umgedacht” on power at the theater for young audiences, and led the organisational team of the international student festival UWE with Jana Gmelin. They are a concept advisor for communication and feedback methods for artistic practice in collaboration with Flugwerk (Berlin) and Geheime Dramaturgische Gesellschaft (all over Germany).
