The Disappeared Woman: The dramaturgy of tropes and trauma
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
An evening of debate and discussion, with an industry panel, inspired by the prize-winning academic work of Rosie Wyatt to investigate how dramaturgy challenges and critiques tropes of women as victims. Q&A.
How can the everyday violence against women and girls be theatrically conceived in ways that critique rather than compound harm? How can the oppression of women be reflected on stage whilst challenging the systems that enable it? What does trauma-informed dramaturgy look like? Building on Rosie Wyatt's academic exploration of plot devices from the disappeared woman to gender-based violence, this panel event will explore how theatre can challenge and change the power structures that underpin society.
Notes.
Difficult issues may be discussed.
Suggested age guidance: 16.
Panel includes speaker Rosie Wyatt and chairs Fiona Williams and Birkbeck's Seda Ilter.
