The symposium will take place at RCSSD, 62-64 Eton Ave, London NW3 3HY (Swiss Cottage tube station, opposite to Hampstead Theatre).
In the last twenty years, new technologies have transformed theatre practice, leading to exchanges between digital and non-digital media in performance. This aspect of intermediality has been particularly influential in performances of Shakespeare in Europe, which may suggest that his plays lend themselves exceptionally well to digital treatments. This issue will be closely examined during the symposium.
Guiding questions might include:
* What features of Shakespearean drama are reinforced and redefined through intermedial practice?
* What new approaches to aesthetics and politics emerge through intermedial treatments of Shakespeare post-1990s?
* How does intermediality change our perception of Shakespeare?
* Is it still possible to identify "European Shakespeare" in a contemporary political context?
The event is sponsored by a Marie Curie Intra European Fellowship (EU FP7) and RCSSD's Research Centre for Theatre and Intermediality.
