Encounters with Slapstick and Sympathy: Falling Down

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ian Burrows .

These lectures will examine the means by which dramatists test the bodies of others for variously comic, tragic, traumatic and/or traumatising effects.

The lectures will be led by Ian Burrows, author of Shakespeare for Snowflakes: On Slapstick and Sympathy, and the performer Meg Lewis. Together they will examine in detail some forms of dramatic coercion as practised inside and outside the theatre.

All are welcome. This lecture is accompanied by another the following day, but it is not necessary to attend both. No prior knowledge of the texts discussed and tested will be assumed. Both lectures will allow time for discussion and response at their conclusion.

This talk is part of the irb23's list series.
