Alternative Dramaturgies informed by a d/Deaf and Disability Perspective, a
day-long symposium.
6th November 2006. Liverpool.
North West Disability Arts Forum (NWDAF) in partnership with Kaite O’Reilly
(Arts and Humanities Research Council Creative Fellow) and Liverpool Hope
University will host the symposium on Monday 6th November 2006 (10am-5pm), at
Liverpool Hope University, School of Performing Arts, Shaw Street Campus,
Liverpool.
The symposium will be a day long event led by Disabled and d/Deaf
practitioners/artists and academics, including papers, presentations, work
demonstrations and panel discussions.
This will be the second of two regional symposia with international
contributors. The first took place in the South West in March 2006, part of
Kaite O’Reilly’s AHRC Creative Fellowship 2003-6 at the School of Performance
Arts, Exeter University, where she undertook practice based research into
‘Alternative Dramaturgies informed by a d/Deaf and Disability perspective’. She
has defined ’Alternative Dramaturgies’ as the processes, structures, content
and form which reinvent, subvert or critique ‘traditional’ or ’conventional’
routes (for which read mainstream, hearing and non-disabled).
Key questions explored will include: -
1. How do alternative dramaturgies subvert or re-invent conventional
dramaturgies?
2. What can the mainstream learn from a d/Deaf and Disability perspective
regarding performance practice – process and product?
3. How might developments (e.g. integrated sign interpretation, innovations in
form and process) impact on or be included into mainstream practice?
4. Do inclusive practices within the mainstream dilute d/Deaf and Disability
cultural identity?
Speakers/practitioners include : -
• Jonathan Meth (Chair) Director of Writernet UK
• Mat Fraser (Actor/Writer) UK
• Petra Kuppers (Academic/Practitioner) USA
• The Fingersmiths Ltd (Jean St Clair, Kaite O’Reilly and Jeni Draper) UK
• Alicia Grace (emerging Performance Artist/Disability Performance Studies
Theorist ) UK
• Disability studies academics working in the North West
Target Audience
This North West regional symposium will be of interest to practitioners working
in the performing arts, educators and learners, theatre programmers, artistic
directors and d/Deaf and Disabled artists/people. It will be of significant
interest to academics and students involved in Disability Performance Studies
