Eike Wittrock is a historian, curator, and professor of dance studies at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. In his research and pedagogical practice, he explores (queer) aesthetics in historical sources of European dance history, and archives and investigates the performative aspects of queer activism from the 1970s and 1980s, in texts, events, and other forms. He regularly collaborates with artists and students to examine historical material, aiming to counter the lack of imagination and limitations of the present. In an international research project, he is currently exploring, together with colleagues, how LGBTIQ* movements in Germany and Austria contributed to the democratisation process. In this context, he is co-developing theatre workshops for young people with Gin Müller. Recent publications include Theater* in queerem Alltag und Aktivismus der 1970er und 1980er Jahre (Neofelis Verlag, co-authored with Jenny Schrödl), Speculations on the Queerness of Dance Modernism (special issue of the Dance Research Journal, co-edited with Mariama Diagne and Lucia Ruprecht), and the entry on „Theatre“ in the Handbook of Queer Contemporary History.
