Gudrun creates autobiographical work, questioning authenticity, the rehearsed live moment and ideas around theatrical deconstruction. Currently, her practice is focused on how pulling previously established ideas apart can be a way of interrogating themes around theatre, politics and the self.

She is a Visiting Lecturer on the Contemporary Performance Practice programme and Lead Artist of Junction 25, an experimental performance group for young people based at Tramway in Glasgow.
