Radical Mischief: A Conference Inviting Experiment in Theatre, Thought and Politics

All of us involved in the University of Birmingham and RSC’s collaboration at The Other Place are excited to announce details of our forthcoming conference.

‘Radical Mischief: A Conference Inviting Experiment in Theatre, Thought and Politics’ will take place from 20-21 July 2018 at The Other Place theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon and offers an unmissable opportunity to be involved in an urgent and open conversation about what thought and theatre can do in our time.

This conference invites participants to address the most important issues of our time in an open and exciting, inter-disciplinary and sector-crossing conversation. From the financial crash to war in the Middle East; from popular nationalism to fundamental questions about the value of both art and education: we live in a bewilderingly changing world. This conference will explore new ways in which we can work together not only to define but also to respond to its many challenges.

In the spirit of the new democracy we seek to promote, this event will experiment with the traditional conference form. There will be no uninterrupted, pre-written papers; instead, there will be two provocative plenary conversations, between high-profile figures with challenging views, intended to inspire open debate. The conference will then curate a series of focused conversations in different formats, including active participation and open space technology, led by artists, scholars and conference participants. 

The conference will kick off with a conversation between Emma Rice and Professor Jonathan Dollimore. The event will also feature an exciting mix of scholars, artists and journalists such as: Professor Dympna Callaghan, Nadia Latif, Professor Kiernan Ryan, Dr Catherine Silverstone, Hassan Abdulrazzak, Professor Julia Lupton, Anders Lustgarten, Lyn Gardner, Professor Peter Holbrook, Juliet Gilkes Romero, Dr Abigail Rokison-Woodall and Professor Richard Wilson.
