Theatre for Social Change in the 21st Century

Liverpool Hope University
17th-18th September 2005


Liverpool Hope in partnership with Collective 
Encounters is hosting this conference to explore 
the impact, relevance and current practices of 
theatre for social change.

The conference will bring together artists, 
researchers and scholars to investigate key 
issues through practice and debate.

Keynote speakers will be
Alan Filewod (University of Guelph) who will 
relate performancel and dramatic forms of 
Documentary Theatre to processes of political 
intervention.
Tim Prentki (University College Winchester) will 
present a global framework for discussing the 
role of theatre in both building and sustaining 
communities.

Delegates will attend Collective Encounters' 
documentary performance which will animate a 
'tinned up' street in north Liverpool with light, 
sound, multimedia and live performance, and will 
have the opportunity to discuss this model 
alongside other practical examples of 
contemporary theatre for social change.

This is a non-residential conference and 
delegates fees will be £115 (covering food, 
refreshments, attendance at papers, panels, 
workshops and the performance).
