Dear colleagues,
You are warmly invited to the next session of the Cambridge
Interdisciplinary Performance Network.
TRAINING IN THEORY
Monday 23rd May | 5-7pm | SG1, Alison Richard Building, University of
Cambridge
featuring papers by
Dr Tom Cornford (Central School of Speech and Drama): "Life-lines,
Meshworks, Knots and Tangles: Theorising the Work of Theatre Studios"
David Winters (Cambridge): "Theory and the Creative Writing Classroom:
Conceptual Revision in the School of Gordon Lish"
This seminar will explore two intersecting questions about processes of
teaching and developing creative practice. What kinds of theory are
appropriate to the task of articulating and documenting this
development? And how can these practices themselves become vectors for
the apparently abstract and pre-defined work of 'theory'?
Tom Cornford is a Lecturer in Theatre and Performance at The Royal
Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London and a director
and dramaturg. He was previously Lecturer in Theatre at the University
of York and has taught acting and directing in the UK, the USA and
Germany. He is the author of numerous articles about theatre practices
and is currently completing his first monograph, /Theatre Studios:
Practices, Philosophies and Politics of Ensemble Theatre Making/.
David Winters is the authorized biographer of Gordon Lish, about whom he
is currently writing his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Cambridge.
His writing has appeared in /Critical Quarterly/, /The Year’s Work in
Critical and Cultural Theory/, /Radical Philosophy/ and elsewhere. He
also regularly contributes literary criticism and journalism to The
Guardian, the TLS, the LARB, and other publications. His essay
collection /Infinite Fictions/ was published in January 2015, and he is
co-editor in chief of 3:AM Magazine.
