Further recent and current collaborators include Marko Gutić Mižimakov, Osamu Shikichi, Marija Cetinić and Bojana Cvejić. Govaart holds MA’s in Performance Studies (New York University) and Cultural Analysis (University of Amsterdam), having previously studied writing and performance theory at P.A.R.T.S.
