Biljana Lori Stankovic

Biljana Stankovic Lori was born in Novi Sad in 1974. She studied Discourse Analysis in the department of Serbian Language and Literature, graduating in 1999, in the same year finishing her alternative study of 'Mileva Maric Einstein' with her dissertation on the Feminist Theatre, 'FENS teater'. The combination of activism and art in Biljana's work has resulted in the creation and establishment of another feminist, this time also lesbian, theatre group, ACT Women. Concerned with knowledge, needs and the existence of marginalised groups, Biljana Stankovic does not need a different truth for the creation of her performances. Research into the body, voice, movement and rhythm within the lesbian identity has led Biljana to also become a theatre educator (with the workshop, The Rhythm in Us). She currently works as coordinator of the Novi Sad Lesbian Organisation, NLO.
