Annie Dorsen is a director, writer and occasional dramaturg. Her pop-political performance project Democracy in America will be presented at PS122 in early 2008 in a co-production with New York's Foundry Theater. Previous iterations of that piece have been presented at Soho Rep, the Marfa Theater, Soho Think Tank and New York Theater Workshop's Mondays at 3.

In the 2007-8 season she will direct Ecstatic States by Juliana Francis (Foundry Theater), and will be dramaturg for a new dance piece by Karole Armitage (The Joyce). Annie is a founding member of PerformingArtsForum, an artist-driven work and research space in St. Erme, France. Other directing projects include Portraits: Night and Day, written and performed by Karen Kandel (Voice 4 Vision Puppet Festival), Antigone Arkhe by Caridad Svich (The Women's Project), The Crazy Girl by Frank Pugliese (New York Stage and Film) and Somewhere Someplace Else by Ann Marie Healy (Clubbed Thumb).

Annie has also directed the American premieres of Family Stories: Belgrade (Market Theater), and Belgrade Trilogy (NYU/Tisch School of the Arts), both by Serbian playwright Biljana Srbljanovic. Other projects on which she was both adapter and director include The Blue Bird by Maurice Maeterlinck (Williamstown Theater Festival), and a multi-media re-writing of The Crazy Locomotive by Stanislaw Witkiewicz (Yale School of Drama). She has taught at NYU, Fordham University and the Playwright's Horizons Theater School.

Annie is the recipient of several fellowships, notably the Sir John Gielgud Fellowship for Classical Directors from SSDC, and both the Boris Sagal and Bill Foeller Fellowships from the Williamstown Theater Festival. In 2002 she sat on the jury of the Belgrade International Theater Festival (BITEF) and in 2006 was a guest moderator for After the Show, a series of discussions and panels for the Alkantara Festival (Lisbon, Portugal).
