This interdisciplinary, cross-period conference explores the representation, effects and meanings of liminal time and space in medieval and early modern performance culture.\u00a0 Emphasising the inherently liminal and ephemeral nature of performance, it will consider space and time in conjunction across a range of performance events between the tenth and seventeenth centuries.\u00a0 Bringing together scholars working on medieval and early modern performance in its broadest sense, the conference will initiate cross-disciplinary, cross-period dialogues that explore the continuities and ruptures between cultural thinking in the two periods, and draw out the ambiguous, transitional and transitory aspects of both concepts.<\/p>\n
On the evening of Friday 5th September the\u00a0Early English Performance Cultures and Contemporary Creative Practice<\/em>\u00a0session will explore the ways in which cultural and creative practices might both elide and emphasise spatio-temporal divisions.\u00a0 During this session, theatre practitioners and writers will present, discuss, and answer questions about their most recent work, all of which has engaged with early English performance culture and narrative.\u00a0 This event will be followed by a drinks reception and is open to the public.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>BURSARIES:<\/strong>\u00a0Thanks to the generosity of the Society for Renaissance Studies, we are able to offer two fee-waiving bursaries to postgraduate delegates working in the early modern period.\u00a0 If you fall into this category please email the organisers, giving your name, institution, a brief summary of your dissertation (c.100 words) and your supervisor\u2019s name.
