Justin Grize studied music composition at Carnegie Mellon University and Musical Theatre at Goldsmiths, University of London. Noticing a persistent animal presence in his own work as a composer and dramatist, from the song cycle Birds and Beasts to the verse tragedy The Hart, he joined the Centre for Research in Opera and Music Theatre at the University of Sussex as a PhD candidate, where his AHRC-funded practice-led project explores strategies of animal representation on the opera (and post-operatic) stage, with a particular focus on insects and other arthropods.
