My first debt of thanks is to the members of the Belarus Free Theater. This dissertation would not have been possible without the generosity extended to me by this theater collective. I would like to especially thank co-directors Nicolai Khalezin, Natalia Koliada and Vladimir Scherban for the many hours of vital interview time they granted me in the summer of 2013. Thank you to Yuri Kaliada, who made my early encounters with the company very warm. A big thanks to Svetlana (Sveta) Sugako, who graciously opened the doors to the company’s theater in Minsk and made it possible for me to watch rehearsals and attend workshops. Also a thank you to all the members of the BFT who shared their stories and hospitality, in particular Viktoriya Biran, Siarhei Kvachonak, Andrei Urazau and Kiril Kanstantsinau. I would also like to thank the organizations that supported this project financially. Particularly, Klaas Van der Sanden at the Institute for Global Studies (IGS) at the University of Minnesota. IGS awarded me a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship and made it possible for me to make my first research trip to Belarus in 2011.
