Identity, Performance and Social Action

Advisory Committee

The Advisory Group

The Advisory Committee for the Identity, Performance and Social Action Research Project meets on average twice a year. The members use their areas of expertise to help highlight issues that need greater attention.

The First Advisory Meeting in October 2005 introduced the research project and discussed some of the theoretical and methodological issues that related to it.

The Second Advisory Meeting in June 2006 focused around presentations and a panel discussion on the practise of using theatre as a research tool.

The Third Advisory Meeting in December 2006 was a Visual Analysis Workshop that was run in conjunction with the Centre for Narrative Research. Using video excerpts from the research this workshop aimed to help develop tools for analysing theatre visually.
