Description
Join us for the Out of the Wings Forum 2024
This event brings together practitioners and researchers from academic institutions, arts organisations as well as theatre translation projects to share ideas, practices and create networks. Together, we will explore the role theatre translation plays in helping us to imagine our future and its potential to disrupt and transform the way we think about the world and our role in society.
The Forum is open to anyone with an interest in theatre translation and we welcome participation from actors, directors, producers, literary managers, commissioning editors, dramaturges, writers, translators, research students, theatre translation lecturers, and academics.
This event will take place in person at King’s College London. Note that the panel at (15.30-17.00) will be hybrid and you will receive a link to join this online.
