Theatre History Workshop
Taking advantage of local resources in Bristol and Bath, the workshop will include visits and introductions to the University of Bristol Theatre Collection, to the Theatre Royal at Bath, and finally to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Featured scholar Christopher Baugh, Professor of Performance & Technology at the School of Performance & Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds will be joined by other participants including Jane Moody, Diego Saglia. David Worrall, and Daniel O’Quinn. The aim of the event is to encourage all attending to think together about the possibilities of research into British theatre outside London in the long Romantic era, and informal opening and closing panels to the workshop will invite participants to talk about some of the central issues in this potentially rich area of research.
If you want to participate, just send an email to Tom Crochunis by July 13 (or earlier if possible) at tccrochunis@embarqmail.com
