I was born in Romania and have decided to live far away, in the States. I hold a PhD in Comparative Theater and Medical Humanities conferred by Purdue University. I teach courses in theater, literature, cinema, and writing at Pace University in New York City. I am the New Play Development Curator at Jersey City Theater Center. I am a published author who finds inspiration in major themes, whether they have to deal with the human body in decline (when ill), or racism (because I am white, racism matters to me), immigration (religion and politics are overrated, but we do share one Earth), disability (because I grew up in communism to notice its vicious, yet pompous rhetoric), and other topics that surface in real life. I love traveling and culture. Art heals my soul and breaks my silence. Theater is, without a doubt, my alter ego. Sarcasm balances my sensibility. I love to talk, but mostly in writing since I am definitely more relaxed and profound there. ​www.linkedin.com/in/drflorescu/
