Description
The Research Centre for Performance & Creative Exchange offers a forum for the exchange of energy and ideas about histories, theories, and practices of theatre, performance and live art. It seeks to place cutting edge work by visiting scholars and artists in conversation with the research of staff and students, and asks how shared strands of thought can be developed, circulated, revised and augmented. The Centre cultivates avenues of engagement and collaboration with a particular focus on: subjectivity and experimentation; questions of gender, race and sexuality; under-represented histories and new historiographical methods; institutional critique; interdisciplinarity; practice as research; and work that is international in its focus and aims. Roberts' tenure directing the Research Centre saw over 30 research events including seminars, symposia, conferences, performances and public talks attended by up to 150 people. The programme included influential and emerging artists and scholars from Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America.Estimated audience numbers (if applicable)
