Vanja Hamidi Isacson

Vanja Hamidi Isacson is a Swedish-Finnish playwright and artistic researcher based in Malmö, Sweden. Since 2024, she has been an affiliated guest researcher at Malmö Theatre Academy. In 2022, she completed her doctorate at Stockholm University of the Arts with a thesis titled The Potential of Multilingualism in Dramatic Works. Her research delves into the relationship between multilingualism and its communicative, dramaturgical, political, and emotional dimensions, drawing on her extensive experience as a playwright.

As part of her PhD project, she developed two multilingual dramatic works, ASIA/ÄRENDE and UniZona & PolyZona, in close collaboration with theaters, actors, and directors in Finland and Sweden.

Hamidi Isacson co-founded and served as dramaturg for Teater JaLaDa, a multilingual theater company in Malmö, from 2013 to 2015. Her multilingual plays for children have been performed on numerous occasions. Beyond drama, she also writes operatic librettos and regularly teaches, supervises, and leads workshops and lectures on performing arts, dramatic writing, and multilingualism at institutions such as Uniarts Stockholm and the Theatre Academy at Uniarts Helsinki.

Her current research project, To Compose with Multiple Languages and Found Material, is a collaboration with composer Daniel Fjellström. Together, they are developing a multilingual performance/installation at Inter Arts Center.
