  • Zsófia Bálint (HU) currently attends a teacher training programme as Hungarian Language and Literature – Drama and Theatre teacher at the University of Szeged Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. She graduated at the University of Szeged with a BA in Hungarian Language and Literature with a specialisation in History of Theatre and Comparative Literature and Culture Studies. She is constantly working on improving her critical publications about performances and literature. Her reviews have been published in Hungarian online journals e.g. f21, art7, Revizor, Tiszatáj Online and Thealter blog websites. In her writing on performances, she aims to write in an engaging and enthusiastic way that draws as many readers as possible into the captivating world of theatre. Her current thesis and hopefully her potential PhD topic explores the analytical aspects of the joint performance of the human body and the puppet in contemporary Hungarian theatre performances. The questions of the differences and potential merging of puppet and human body are also raised in contemporary dance and movement theatre, her research therefore involves both prose and dance theatre performances.
