Issue 05: Curating Performance Launch
“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.” -- Arundhati Roy
Imagined Theatres, Issue 05: Curating Performance asks a selection of curators, artistic directors, producers, and arts administrators to enter into dialogue about their hopes and dreams for the future of the performing arts. Adopting a call-and-response structure, the issue unexpectedly straddles a historic moment: with the initial contributions written before COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter protests, and the responses written in the wake of these events. This issue, which features a range of creative reflections, musings, and calls to action, invites us to step through the portal and imagine a set of possible futures for the field.
Imaginedtheatres.com began as a book that brought together conceptual events, hypothetical performances, and visions for the theatre written by theorists, artists, and critics of the contemporary stage. After the book was published, there was a desire to continue to expand the scope of the conversation, and so the online journal imaginedtheatres.com was founded, and has since published four issues each based on a different theme, the second of which focused on Australia.
The launch will be hosted by Fusebox artistic directors and editors of the issue Anna Gallagher-Ross and Ron Berry, and feature call-and-response readings by a selection of contributors:
Tara Willis and Lumi Tan
Tobi Kyeremateng and Jeff Khan
Gundega Laiviņa and Matthieu Goeury
Low Kee Hong & Silvia Bottiroli and Marie Casimir
Joyce Rosario and Shanta Thake
Shoshana Polanco and Meiyin Wang
