University of Oxford
With a particular eye towards historical and contemporary performance, this year?s single-stream conference will take on such questions as: How can digital tools empower our study of historical performance, both in the archive and in the classroom? Can one tool serve both expert and general audiences? What roles can digital media play in augmenting contemporary interpretations of 16th- and 17th-century drama? How can cultural institutions develop collaborative tools to better sustain long-term research in performance studies? What challenges emerge in building repositories and resources that include performance materials? The program will feature plenaries by Professor Cristina Dondi (Lincoln College, Oxford), Ramona Riedzewski (Victoria and Albert Museum, London), and a plenary conversation with Richard Ovenden (Bodleian Libraries, Oxford), Professor Tiffany Stern (Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham), and Professor H.R. Woudhuysen, FBA (Lincoln College, Oxford), moderated by Eric M. Johnson (Folger Shakespeare Library). The conference will be preceded by a Pre-Conference Workshop, a hands-on bootcamp for planning and executing digital humanities projects. Questions may be sent to digitalconf@folger.edu
