Education Ph.D., Theatre History, Literature, and Criticism, The University of Texas at Austin Dr. Savilonis has been teaching in the English Department at UNH since Fall 2006. Her primary areas of interest include modern drama; American and British literature of the 1920s-1930s; Renaissance and Restoration theatre and drama; and 20th century dance. Dr. Savilonis is committed to cross-disciplinary work, believing that disciplines such as history, literature, and theatre are not discrete units, but fields that inform one another and work together to both produce and reproduce culture.This philosophy informs both her pedagogy, in courses such as Dramaturgy, and her scholarship, in essays such as "Metatheatrical Labor in Rude Mechanicals’ The Method Gun," which she presented at the American Society for Theatre Research's annual conference in 2011, and "Value, Voice, and Identity in Three Birds Alighting on a Field," a chapter in International Dramaturgy: Translation and Transformation in the Theatre of Timberlake Wertenbaker. She is particularly invested in helping students engage in the learning process and hopes that they can develop personal strategies that allow them to recognize the value of writing as a way to make thought development an active, physical process and enable them to develop the skills and the confidence to actively, publicly articulate their points of view.
