Exploring Identity in Film/TV and
Theatre in Theory and Practice
As the
success of films like Attack the Block, television series like The
Inbetweeners, and theatre plays like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Night-time show, representations of identity matter in today's film/TV and
theatre. This two-day event will examine such representations both
theoretically and practically.
A short
lecture and seminar discussion will introduce key questions concerning
representations of identity; such as:
• What
kinds of representations do contemporary film/TV and theatre offers us, and
which are absent?
• Why
does it matter how we are represented within these cultural media?
• How can
we use film/TV and theatre-making to represent ourselves/each other?
The
discussion will be informed by, for example, ideas about femininity and
masculinity, race and ethnicity, age, (dis)ability, technology, and how these
affect each other.
You will
then explore these questions and ideas through practical workshops by making a
short film or performance, using specialist equipment and facilities.

Deadline for application is Friday 17th June
