Beyond the Trigger: Psychopathology and Performance - Workshop 3

Event
20th November 2023
17:00 - 19:00
Judith E Wilson Drama Studio
This Michaelmas, the 'Beyond the Trigger' creative research project will launch by hosting a series of events to explore the possible relationships between drama and psychopathology.

These workshops will establish questions about the treatment of key formal properties of performance — physicality, space, the relationship of individual to group — and their relationship to psychopathological states.

Workshop Three: Embodiment and Traumatic Memory

Starting discussion exploring James Cave's operatic arrangement of 'Returns', an adaptation of war veteran Joshua Casteel's account of PTSD.

Conversations around theatrical embodiment and performance led by Annabel Arden (co-founder, 'Theatre de Complicité'; director National Theatre, Royal Court, English National Opera, Opera North, and many others).
