An international panel conversation about the diversification of contemporary performer training which builds on the recent publication of a special issue of ‘Against the Canon’ in Theatre, Dance and Performance Training 11:3 (Routledge, 2020).
Panellists will include three authors from the journal: Kaja Dunn and Sharrell Luckett (USA), and Kristine Landon-Smith (former artistic director of Tamasha). They will be joined by Abdul Shayek (artistic director of TARA); and Gail Babb (former member of Talawa Theatre and staff member at Goldsmiths).
