Curious about academic research in Theatre and Performance and how researchers share their work?

The Different Stages project is a series of workshops exploring public engagement for Drama and Theatre PhDs and Early Career Researchers – https://www.cssd.ac.uk/different-stages

The Different Stages showcase is for everyone and will highlight examples of interesting and exciting work being done in and with theatre and performance by academics and practitioners based around Birmingham and the West Midlands. Through a series of short talks presenters will share their ideas, research and projects - to open up their work to new audiences and make new connections.

Naomi Paxton will be the MC for this showcase - she is a performer and comic, is Knowledge Exchange Fellow at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and the regular MC for Museums Showoff and Carry on Curating at the V&A.

Speakers include:

Peter Barratt

Janice Connolly, Artistic Director of Women & Theatre

Sudip Chakroborthy, Goldsmiths College, University of London

Fifth Word Theatre

Claire Warden, Loughborough University

Peter Wynne-Willson, Birmingham School of Acting

The event will run from 6.30-8pm in the John Peek Room at the BMI. The room is wheelchair accessible. It is free to attend but places must be reserved in advance - so please register now!
