March 8, 6pm
Documentary theatre performance: modes of listening

A Talk by Dr. Tom Cantrell, University of York, UK
2022 scholar-in-residence at Concordia’s Acts of Listening Lab

In this talk, Dr. Cantrell will discuss how actors approach listening across a range of documentary theatre forms. He will identify ‘documentary theatre’ as an umbrella term which includes a wide range of working methods, each calling on the actor to listen in different ways. Examples drawn from British theatre will include headphone verbatim theatre, tribunal theatre and verbatim musicals.
