How can applied theatre help us navigate difference, challenge prejudice and create meaningful connections? Voices in Motion brings together three research projects by University of Derby MA Applied Theatre & Education students, exploring migration and identity, multilingualism and communication, and women’s empowerment in the face of gendered hostility. Through participatory practice and performance, the projects investigate how creative approaches can open up dialogue, make space for marginalised voices and support greater understanding across social, cultural and linguistic differences. Join keynote speakers and students at Derby Theatre to discover how practice-based research can generate new knowledge and explore the contribution applied theatre can make to urgent contemporary issues. The symposium will be available to attend in person and via livestream.
