Background

Jeremy Neideck is a performance maker and academic who has worked between Australia and Korea for almost two decades, investigating the interweaving of cultures in performance; the intersection of queer identities and theories in performance; and the modelling of new and inclusive social realities. The recipient of scholarships from Aphids, Australia-Korea Foundation, Asialink, and Brisbane City Council, Jeremy has undertaken residencies at The National Art Studio of Korea, The National Changgeuk Company of Korea, and The Necessary Stage (Singapore).

His work Jiha Underground, co-written with Nathan Stoneham for Motherboard Productions, was nominated for a Matilda award and sold-out its seasons at Metro Arts, Brisbane Festival, World Theatre Festival, and the 2014 HiSeoul Festival, and is currently on the development slate for Screen Queensland and SBS. His experimental dance theatre work Deluge: 물의기억 premiered at the Brisbane Festival in 2014, and toured the Seoul International Dance Festival enjoying a return season at the Namsan Drama Center in 2015. Jeremy’s work 심청 Shimchong: Daughter Overboard was a reimagination of the traditional Korean tale of Shimchong that combined pansori, poetry, and political satire in a work of physical theatre premiered at WTF 2016.

Jeremy holds a PhD from Queensland University of Technology, where he taught across the disciplines of drama, music, and dance, and led movement training and direction in the BFA (Acting) program for a decade. Jeremy regularly consults on the architecture and facilitation of collaborative projects and programs of institutional and community transformation.
