The Reimagining Performance Network is launching its podcast! ‘Practice Makes’ stages discussions between leading performance scholars and theatre practitioners – actors, playwrights, directors and more — to crack open the connections between theatre research and performance in practice.

At this launch event, presenters Helen Dallas and Madeleine Saidenberg will introduce the podcast and share a teaser of the first episode, featuring Jess Thom of Touretteshero and Hannah Simpson, author of Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance, discussing relaxed performance, accessibility, and the Touretteshero production of Beckett’s Not I.

A light lunch will be provided. A remote tweet-along event will follow when the episode is released the following day so that those unable to attend in person can be involved.
