Project description
Spanish theatre takes centre stage in the United Kingdom
Spanish theatre in the United Kingdom has long grappled with limited research, minimal collaboration between academia and practitioners, and a scarcity of educational materials. The transformative EStages.UK project seeks to tackle these challenges head-on. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the project aims to provide a comprehensive history of Spanish plays performed in the United Kingdom, foster collaboration between scholars and the Spanish Theatre Company, and develop new educational resources. With a 2-year training plan at the University of Leeds and visits to the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, the project will reformulate theatrical exchange and enhance cultural understanding across borders. It stands as a beacon of hope for the future of Spanish theatre in the United Kingdom.
Objective
“EStages.UK. Spanish theatre in United Kingdom (1982-2019)” rehearses a new approach to the study of theatrical exchange in Europe, pioneering collaboration between scholars and theatre practitioners whilst promoting gender equality. The project pursues three interrelated strands, focusing respectively on research, practice and pedagogy. First, it will provide a history of Spanish plays performed in the UK since the consolidation of democracy in Spain, drawing a map of the circuits through which they have moved. Second, it will foster new strategies for collaboration between academia and practitioners, through close collaboration with the first UK-based company dedicated to the staging of Spanish-language theatre: the Spanish Theatre Company (STC). Third, it will develop new materials to promote the study of Spanish theatre in secondary and tertiary-level education. In order to achieve these three objectives, the project includes a two year training plan at the University of Leeds, and two short visits at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I will act as a conduit for knowledge exchange between these two leading centres for Theatre Studies, with established track records in research excellence, and the STC as well as other professional stakeholders. A paramount concern is to provide a forum for networking opportunities and dialogue between academia, practitioners, and cultural managers thereby reformulating and enhancing theatrical exchange and cultural understanding across borders and between different European nations
