Event overview
The Department of Theatre and Performance holds its first annual Postgraduate Research Conference with keynote address by Dr Marissia Fragkou (University of Thessaloniki).
The conference will showcase PhD research in the department while pondering, how do, can and will theatre, performance, and research within the fields of theatre and performance, respond to and engage with precarity? How does precarity inform or describe practice and research within our field, materially and methodologically? Can performance provide the means to reclaim precarity as a tool of resistance?
Delegates are invited to attend a session of their choosing at the “Power, People and Places: Dialogues across Disciplines” conference taking place on the same day organised by PGR students in the Departments of Educational Studies and Social Therapeutic and Community Studies (STaCS).
Registration is free, but pre-booking essential. Lunch will be provided.
