Writer/Arts Culture/Performance and
Professor Emeritus, Performance Studies, Arizona State University, School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies. A founding member of ASU’s Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance Degree Program, (PhD, NYU in Performance Studies; Masters in English, Ohio University). I also taught in high school and at several colleges in Philadelphia. As a journalist and scholar, I published widely on late 20th-21st century interdisciplinary performance, experimental theatre and music, literature, avant-garde studies and aesthetic research. I'm currently collecting writing and essays with a focus on Robert Ashley, Lee Breuer, Fred Ho, Armand Schwerner and Annson Kenney.
As AJ Sabatini, I have created, performed and collaborated with artists and groups, including The Relâche Ensemble and William Duckworth and Nora Farrell’s innovative live and web based projects Cathedral and iOrpheus (2000-2010). I am a writer and verbal artist, with productions for theater, installations and performance, including Magical Walking/Certain Explanations, Who Walks and The Walkings, which I am presently restaging.
Though I lived in Phoenix for over two decades, I also kept a home in Philadelphia returning just at the beginning of the Covid years. Other information available on
