CALL FOR PAPERS 
‘Mapping the Land’: The inaugural symposium of the Russian Theatre Research Network (UK)
 
On 25th April 2014, the Russian Theatre Research Network (UK) will be holding its inaugural symposium at the University of Hull. Established in 2012, the Russian Theatre Research Network (UK) exists to facilitate dialogue between scholars and practitioners working in Britain with an interest in Russian and Soviet theatre. The theme of this first event, Mapping the Land, reflects our desire to understand the relationship which has developed between British and Russian theatre. In 2014, a year designated for cultural exchange between Russia and Britain, we are seeking to explore the nature of the relationship between theatre in these two countries, and the ways in which this relationship has emerged: which ideas have been shared, and what journeys have these undertaken? What stories and histories have been written? What mythologies exist? How have British practice and scholarship been challenged and shaped by interactions with Russian theatre, and vice
 versa? Where are we now - and where might we be in the future?


Papers are invited from a range of topics and perspectives, including, but not restricted to:
Historiographic approaches to Russian theatre in the UK
Practitioners’ projects and Practice as Research
Russian actor training methods and their reception in the British context
Translation and adaptation of Russian texts – both play texts and significant treatises
Analysis of productions in performance and touring activity

Key note speakers include
 Prof. Edward Braun (University of Bristol), and Prof. Jonathan Pitches (University of Leeds).

Proposals are invited for 20 minute scholarly papers, demonstrations of practice, or a combination of both. Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words to Dr. Amy Skinner (A.E.Skinner at hull.ac.uk) by 5pm on Friday, 7th February 2014
