Since joining forces seven years ago, Kattrin Deufert and Thomas Plischke have used the metaphor of kinship in their work, describing their collaboration as an artistic symbiosis of non-biological twins. deufert + plischke set up what they call their ‘joint practice’, “Gemeinschaftspraxis e.V.”, in autumn 2007. Together they teach composition, training research and applied dramaturgy at the University of Hamburg and at a number of European art colleges including DasArts Amsterdam, Kunsthøgskolen Bergen, P.A.R.T.S. Brussels and Academy for Media Arts Cologne.
In 2006, they held guest lecturer positions for Performance Studies at the University of Hamburg and in 2008 at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies at the Justus Liebig University Gießen. In September 2009, they published “Monstrum. A Reportable Book”, documenting and annotating the stage production “Reportable Portraits”.
