Proudly supporting Japan-Britain Contemporary Theatre Exchange.

How is contemporary theatre and performance inspired by imaginary and/or real travel? How can theatrical exchange and collaboration become a transformative force and give agency to both those present and absent from the places of gathering?

Lancaster University are inviting researchers, artists, academics and students of theatre and performance from Japan and Britain for a three-day exchange that will take place at Lancaster University and Salford University this November 2023.

During the programme, one of the leading Japanese theatre scholars, Professor UCHINO Tadashi (Gakushuin Women's College, Tokyo), will be introducing recent post-dramatic or 'other' theatre practices in Japan. There will also be roundtable discussion on 'Travelling, Gathering, Exchanging'.
