Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

About this event:Intersections 2024 will take place on the 17th of January, hosted in person at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, in London. This year, we are thinking about Wilding Performance. This interdisciplinary conference aims to investigate and engage with the theme of wild epistemologies, which challenge conventional knowledge structures and offer an entangled, multi-storied approach to thinking about performance-making and its adjacent fields.We are delighted to share that the keynote will be delivered by Dr Noreen Masud. Dr Masud is a lecturer in the Department of English at The University of Bristol and author of A Flat Place (Hamish Hamilton, 2023), a creative, non-fiction book reflecting on the meanings of “flatness” and its literary traditions.This year, we are eager to take an unwieldy route through a winding path of thought and practice, focusing on the vast network of identity and states of being held together by the neutral and powerful force known as wildness. We hope you will be able to join us for an engaging and imaginative research conference.PLEASE NOTE: This conference is open to all but advance registration is essential.
