Shared Narratives

Fri 2 October 2020

Introducing a new collaborative online conference supporting work by performing arts researchers of colour

Recognising the breadth and quality of performing arts research produced by researchers and practitioners of colour, Shared Narratives offers a platform to support and showcase academic voices that are often hidden.

Spearhead by PhD candidates Uchenna Ngwe (Trinity Laban) and Ankna Arockiam (The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) the collaborative conference is jointly hosted by the two Conservatoires and will take place 18 – 21 November 2020.

Supported by Trinity Laban’s Digitally Enhanced Learning team, the four-day virtual event aims to provide a collaborative networking space and will include interactive events, workshops and presentations.
