About Aubrey Naur

Aubrey Naur is a writer, theatre-maker, office worker, photographer and creative producer based in Sydney and New York. They studied Western Civilization at the Australian Catholic University as a Ramsay Scholar, with additional coursework at Parsons School of Design and the Hebrew University.

Their work explores aftermath, entropy, and the erotics of abjection. They draw from various traditions in autofiction, satire, and speculative dramaturgy, and are interested in what it means to live through what comes after.

Founding Producer of Sydney Dramaturgical Company

They are the Founding Producer of Sydney Dramaturgical Company, where they facilitated a year of non-hierarchical dramaturgy, production design, Auslan-integrated staging, Ancient Greek textual translation, and the creation of immersive, small-capacity theatre.

They piloted a month-long Sydney Fringe program in 2025, which included original translations of Antigone as well as the tech drama Doomers by Matthew Gasda.

Writing

As a writer, they have been published by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in the 2024 Macfarlane Commissions catalogue, in River Theory Magazine, The Paris End, and Sleaze Girl Gazette #2.

Their broader work sits between criticism, experimental prose, and performance writing. Aubrey's writing has manifested on stages and screens and has been recognised at the New York Shorts Festival.

Performance and Screen Work

Their performance and screen work includes Beavers, Chinese Restaurant (writer, director, producer, performer), Booba (writer, TouchDesigner graphics), and Carrot Salad for Drink More Water NYC (writer, cinematographer).

Earlier crew work includes St Augustine directed by Thomas Wilson-White.

Interests and Practice

Across all their work, Aubrey is interested in psychoanalysis, the aesthetics of bureaucracy, and the limits of communication. Their practice moves between theatre, writing, and digital media.

Most of all, they are interested in probing questions of intimacy, entropy, and life after death.
