Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre

Description

Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre is a space in which theatre makers, critics and audiences gather to share knowledge, ideas and practices relating to contemporary theatre and performance. The Centre hosts an extensive programme of public events including workshops, seminars, lectures, symposia and performances. Events are led by the research interests of Centre members and the current concerns of its Fellows and visiting artists. Research falls into the following main strands:

• Culture, community and identity
• Performance, medical humanities and health
• Socially engaged practices
• Digital practices and culture
• New writing and dramaturgy
• Making contemporary theatre
• Contemporary approaches to historical works

Through the Centre's work, theatre makers, writers, scholars and critics make use of the resources available in the Arts building at 43 Gordon Square. The Centre’s work is also closely associated with Birkbeck’s BA, Postgraduate and PhD courses in theatre, drama and creative writing.
