We hope you enjoyed our research seminar series at the Centre for
Contemporary and Digital Performance. As in previous years, and in our Artaud
Forum series that we began in 2011, we try to focus on how praxis and theory in
performance and theatre shifts as they are informed, challenged and or altered
by other disciplines,processes
or art forms.
