Resident autumn 2016: Corinna Sigmund

Sep 2, 2016
2 min read

IFP welcomes German writer Corinna Sigmund to Beijing for a 3-month residency supported by the Goethe Institut Peking.

Corinna Sigmund, 1982, is a german writer, based in Berlin. Her writing takes different forms such as theatrical work, scripts for graphic novel, short prose and essays. The work focuses on processes of failing in relationships and communications and takes interest in solitude and isolation as a crucial condition of any being-in-language. At IFP Corinna will continue to work on a project with the working title Home Coming that took shape while researching for a play development on »arrival« at Überzwerg Theater, Saarbrücken. Departing from interview-material that offered her research on migration and specifically conversations with two young chinese emigrants to Germany, she wants to develop a text that evolves around the feeling of being out-of-place. Disruption, speechlessness, echo (return) and an investigation on the metaphor of the ghost in chinese context will be topics to this work. Corinna studied comparative literature and philosophy in Munich, Paris and Bonn. She wrote a PhD on the notion of desire in text and writing processes while getting involved with psychoanalyst theory. She is a member of the Kölner Akademie für Psychoanalyse Jacques Lacan (KPJL). She wrote plays for theaters and keeps being involved in play-developments. For her play Hello-Goodbye which spins around the Hikikomori-phenomena and drafts the virtual, addictive relationship between two young people, she won the Förderpreis des Deutschen Jugendtheaterpreises. Bodybild, a play development concerned with body-images and hitting puberty, was invited to the AugenblickMal! Festival in Berlin. Her short story Pulsar, a miniature road-movie within the forlorn landscapes of Nagaland (India), was awarded the Bonner Literaturpreis. With her current longterm-project Lucia, a fictional biography about the dancer Lucia Joyce, she was invited to the Prosawerkstatt of the Literarische Colloquium Berlin.

I really enjoyed reading this article because it explained the topic in a simple, informative, and engaging way. The points were well organised and provided useful information without making the subject difficult to understand. Content like this is valuable for readers who want to learn something new and make better decisions based on reliable information. I also found the discussion around financial planning particularly relevant for anyone searching for a trusted Financial Advisor in Vadodara to help plan and manage their financial goals.

This was an engaging and thought-provoking post. I really enjoyed reading about the creative process and the ideas behind the work. It's always inspiring to see how different perspectives can shape meaningful outcomes. Similarly, students can benefit from learning structured approaches in academics, especially when exploring topics like How to write a effective marketing assignment? Clear research, practical examples, and organized writing make a big difference. Thanks for sharing such insightful content!

Reflecting on a resident artist from 2016 there's something beautiful about looking back at creative footprints left behind. As a PhD student balancing research and my part-time role at Last-Minute Assignments, I often find inspiration in past journeys. My own college years were tough; I'd search desperately for an assignment editing service UK, feeling like I was falling behind. That struggle taught me that every creative or academic path has its own season. Corinna Sigmund's residency likely planted seeds that still bloom today. Thanks for honoring those moments they remind us that growth is a quiet, ongoing process worth celebrating.

Reading this piece on Resident A (2016) and Corinna Sigmund, what stands out is how the blog frames vulnerability through an almost clinical lens, yet never loses sight of the emotional weight carried by the characters. Corinna’s situation, especially within the hospital setting, highlights how quickly human stories become fragmented into diagnoses, decisions, and rushed conversations. There’s a quiet tension between professional detachment and underlying compassion that makes the narrative linger after reading. It also subtly reflects how care systems function under pressure, where clarity often competes with urgency. I was reminded how students exploring such layered narratives often seek structured academic guidance like Assignment Help UK, especially when unpacking psychological or medical themes in literature.
