Mark P.
I am Mark Pizzato, an MFA, PhD, and Professor of Theatre and Film at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I teach various subjects, including art, architecture, music, dance, religious studies, communication, and anthropology. My latest book, European Churches and Chinese Temples as Neuro-Theatrical Sites, was published by Bloomsbury in 2024. I have authored six prior books on global theatre history, onscreen animal-human depictions, and the psychology of theater and cinema, among other topics. My short films have won awards, and I have also self-published a sci-fi-farce novella, Outer Space Speaks, available on Amazon.
