<span style="color:#212121">This special edition will investigate how training structures impacts on the agency of the trainee, and vice versa. Some of the questions we would like to explore are:</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"; color:#212121"></span></p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-top:0cm">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Are the boundaries of training necessary in order to define the individual agent?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Can performer training traditions, repertoires, canons, or training institutions, impede the creativity, imagination or abilities of those in training?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Is agency significant in relation to codified training practices, particularly non-western traditions, such as Noh Theatre or Kathakali?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Does training conform and/or perpetuate pre-determined requirements set out by the entertainment industry, in tension with the performer’s agency?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Are the social, economic, cultural and political structures that correspond to institutional power erasing social and cultural difference, or even preventing access to training? Or, are training structures an essential part of an individual’s
journey to the realisation of agency?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">

</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">Performance training and the implications of a neutral stance promoted by some forms, such as Lecoq training and the neutral mask. Does this notion of neutrality erase individuality and autonomy and point to questions of disabling or double-disabling
practices in an attempt to ‘normalise’?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">
<span style="">The challenges of working as an autodidact to achieve self-development and personal training; does this approach offer different questions concerning the role of individual agency?</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212121; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal; background:white">

<span style="">Agency, empowerment and/or liberation through the subversion of traditions of performer training, such as radical practice within existing frameworks or institutions, or approaches of decolonization in terms of performance training canons.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif""></span>
