Funded Activity Summary

Rehearsal without a director: Rethinking theatre history. This project will enrich our understanding of the European tradition from which Australian theatre is descended: the key cultural role of theatre means that understanding the processes by which it is generated provides insights into the forces behind the construction of national identity. This research has broader repercussions: theatrical rehearsal, where group creativity is the driving force, is an exemplar of a broad range of group social processes. Our work will transform the field of rehearsal studies by developing its historical dimension, and will advance the international reputation of Australian researchers at the forefront of the field.
