Sebastienne Mundheim is a Philadelphia-based performance-maker, installation artist, and educator with more than 35 years of experience in interdisciplinary arts and arts education. Her work integrates visual installation, puppetry, storytelling, dance, and theater. In addition to making her own work, Mundheim is a thought-partner and consultant for numerous other artists and arts organizations. Mundheim began her career as a painter and writer, earning her BA and BFA at the University of Pennsylvania in 1990 and EdM from Harvard, 2000. Wanting to get away from a solitary studio practice, she began working in communities designing and implementing parades, installations, and arts-based learning experiences. In 2007, she founded White Box Theatre (WBT), a project-based nonprofit which creates responsive and immersive interdisciplinary, arts-based learning experiences, performances, and public events, for people of all ages. Works are created in partnership with museums, universities, theatre companies, dance troupes, community groups, and schools. www.whiteboxtheatre.com. Mundheim/WBT have been commissioned and/or presented by institutions nationally and internationally. Mundheim received national recognition from the Kennedy Center for the Arts College Theatre Festival for Distinguished Achievement in Puppetry Design and Direction and Barrymores (Philadelphia's Excellence in Theatre Award) for Outstanding Design and for Best Ensemble. She serves on the board of the New School's College of Performing Arts, and strategic planning Committee for Theatre Exile.
