Immersive Theatre

The second series of Performance Pods comes to an end with Professor Jen Harvie’s discussion of Immersive Theatre.  It’s a subject that’s close to my heart, so I think this is a good one.  Enjoy.

Punctum at Hull Truck

My one man show show is on at the Hull Truck in May.  It’s kind of a monologue, with chatting to the audience and a spot of movement/dance thrown in for good measure.  I talk about Roland Barthes’ Camera Lucida, Walter Benjamin and the death of my father, all while making an egg-salad sandwich… so there’s something for everyone.

Theatre and Performance in the Terezin Ghetto

The lastest Performance Pod is available.  It is my favourite so far: Dr Lisa Peschel from the University of York discusses researching and reconstructing theatrical performance in the Terezin Ghetto – for many the last stop before extermination in the holocaust.  A harrowing and fascinating insight.

Frank Matcham Peformance Pod

Here’s a link to the latest Performance Pod.  I hadn’t heard of Frank Matcham before this.  Surely one of the most influential unknowns in British theatre.  Thanks to David Wilmore of Theatresearch for taking part.
