ADELHEID ROOSEN’s work is best described as multidimensional social sculpture. Utilizing primarily theatrical
methods, she creates performances and installations in places of great social vulnerability. In 2009, Roosen
received the Amsterdam Prize for her trans-boundary contribution to the arts, and a second Proscenium Prize
in 2012 for her oeuvre. The Humanist Society awarded her the Van Praag Prize in 2015 because “… she is,
through her art, an indefatigable advocate of a world where compassion towards humanity is given a second
chance.” Last year Roosen was asked to join the prestigious Academy for the Arts.

The Gilder/Coigney International Theatre Award was established in 2011 in honor of Rosamond Gilder and Martha
Coigney, two legendary theatre women whose work on the international stage proved that theatre knows no boundaries.
Presented every three years, this award acknowledges the exceptional work of theatre women around the world and aims
to make a difference in the life and career of an international woman theatre artist.
