Michael Rohd
Michael Rohd is founding artistic director of Sojourn Theatre and a recipient of an Americans for the Arts' Animating Democracy Exemplar Award. His work as creator/director/performer includes BUILT, presented as part of the 2008 TBA Festival, GOOD, winner of a Portland Drammy for Outstanding Production of the Season, and WITNESS OUR SCHOOLS, which ran for 9 months in Oregon before touring nationally. A visiting professor of theatre at Northwestern University with a focus on Devising Performance & Civic Engagement, he has received support from the Ford Foundation, NEA, Rockefeller MAP Fund, and arts councils in more than 5 states. His current projects include ON THE TABLE, set to begin rolling out later this fall, which uses community partnerships, ambitious interactive media, multiple long distance locations, and audience travel to explore how place-based identities and values might be bridged through conversation and a good meal.
