== Life and career ==
Weems was born in Washington State and grew up in Seattle. She attended Reed College before graduating from Barnard College. In 1986-87 she aso attended Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Program where she founded the performance and study group The V-Girls〔V-Girls, "Daughter of the Revolution." October Magazine. Issue 71. (Winter 1995): 121〕 along with Martha Baer, Erin Cramer, Jessica Chalmers and Andrea Fraser. From 1988-93 she was dramaturg and assistant director with The Wooster Group and during that time also worked with Susan Sontag, Ron Vawter, Richard Foreman and many others. From 1986-89 she was program director for the independent arts foundation Art Matters where she remains a member of the Board.〔Schechner, Richard. "Building the Builders Association: A Conversation with Marianne Weems, James Gibbs, and Moe Angelos." ''The Drama Review''. 56.3. (2012): 37-38〕
In 1994 Weems founded the performance and media ensemble The Builders Association with Dan Dobson, David Pence, John Cleater, Jennifer Tipton, and Jeff Webster; Moe Angelos and James Gibbs joined the company in 1998 and 1999 respectively. The Builders Association's first production was an adaptation of Ibsen's The Master Builder, set in a full-scale three story house constructed inside a New York City warehouse. Since then company has been recognized internationally as a leader in theatrical innovation for their interdisciplinary stage performances and use of digital technology. Collaborating with architects, sound, and video artists, software designers, and performers, Weems and The Builders Association combine video, text, sound, and architecture to explore the interface between media and live performance in a culture that is, as Weems puts it, "irrevocably mediatised."〔Svich, Caridad, ed. Trans-global Readings: Crossing theatrical boundaries. New York: Manchester. (2003): 51.〕 The company's last four productions have received their New York premieres at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; their work has been presented at New York Theater Workshop, the Lincoln Center Festival, the Public Theater, the Singapore Arts Festival, London's Barbican Centre, Romaeuropa Festival, the Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogota, the Wexner Center, the Walker Center for the Arts, and the Melbourne International Arts Festival, among hundreds of others.
Weems has been an adjunct, lecturer, and visiting artist at Columbia University, New York University, UC Berkeley, Ohio State University in Columbus, the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and many other institutions. From 2008-14 she was the head of graduate directing at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama〔http://www.cmu.edu/news/archive/2008/August/aug13_dramaweems.shtml〕 and is now special faculty for Carnegie Mellon’s Interactive Media Program based in New York City. She is also currently Visiting Lecturer at the Atelier at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts. She is the co-author of Art Matters: How The Culture Wars Changed America (NYU Press, 2001) and recently co-wrote a book with Professor Shannon Jackson tentatively titled The Builders Association: Performance and Media in Contemporary Theater forthcoming from MIT Press in Fall 2015.〔(Marianne Weems ), at the (Lewis Center for the Arts )〕
