Greg Wohead is an artist and writer working across performance, theatre, experimental writing and literary forms. His work spans live and written configurations—theatre performances, durational pieces, one-to-one encounters, audio works, collaborative stagings and performance texts.

Recent works include THE MAN WHO WAS A SPOON, a haunted funhouse of a theatre performance made with Cão Solteiro using unscripted conversations and Pepper’s Ghost; In Floods, a live-screenplay-reading performance on the edges of autobiography; Heading Against the Wall, a performance in a Lisbon nightclub twinned with a simultaneously broadcast online film made with Cão Solteiro and André Godinho; and Crack of Dawn, a durational sunrise-to-sunset piece.

Across these works and others, there is a fascination with liveness, form, and the performance of self. His work engages with unsettled autobiographies, the emotional structures of longing, and the tension between presence and reenactment. He often works with intimacy, repetition, and weird temporalities. Performances or texts unfold in unusual configurations of time and attention, inviting spectators into dislocated or refracted experiences.

Earlier internationally touring works include Call It a Day, a live-art Amish Groundhog Day; Familiar, a performance in two parts about significant otherness through a canine lens made with Gillie Kleiman; Comeback Special, a sort-of reenactment of Elvis Presley’s ’68 Special; and The Ted Bundy Project, a performance on morbid curiosity built from serial killer confession tapes.

Greg has an ongoing collaboration with Rachel Mars on the possibilities of radical narrative and regularly works with Cão Solteiro.

His performances have been commissioned and presented across the UK, US and Europe, including festivals, independent venues, and site-responsive spaces such as Forest Fringe, Brighton Festival, Fierce, Fusebox Festival, Teatro do Bairro Alto, Mayfest, The Yard, Leeds International Festival, Bios, LAX Festival, HOME, and others.

He works between Lisbon and London.
