In his projects, the text of the piece is often created on the basis of research. This is how his work Oder Bruch, which premiered at the Deutsches Theater in 2012, was created after questioning 100 people in Poland and Germany about their experiences during the flood of the Oder in 1997 , who captured a variety of perspectives on the event.

Rausch held teaching positions at the Zurich University of the Arts , the Berlin University of the Arts , the Braunschweig University of Art and the Center for Performance Studies at the University of Bremen .
