tanasa first examines John Partridge - he claims to be writing for women but the images and letters are to men… and the book isn’t practical to use #BritGrad2025

BUT… the essentials….

Williams and Broadribb note that performance and performance review is an open field… there is no correct way to perform any play so the reviewers job is to take each performance on its own merits… #BritGrad2025

Granger asks us to look at things differently as we study and research… but notes it’s harder for early career researchers to be risky and quirky … we can however use play in our methods #BritGrad2025

Kirwan deep dives into the labor made visual in ASC productions of @reduced.bsky.social complete works abridged - in summary the idea that the three actors draw on the performance history of the play and their own real world work. #BritGrad2025

Kirwan focuses on the working rendered visible in Emma Rice’s dream at the globe that framed the mechanicals as stewards. #BritGrad2025

It’s the final plenary of the day with @drpetekirwan.bsky.social zooming in…. Following Paige Calvert’s excellent paper … does puppet Pete’s presence make this a split role?
June 20, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Calvert expertly balances the pros and cons of splitting and doubling - ultimately concluding in this Pericles the impact was positive and aided comprehension. #BritGrad2025
June 20, 2025 at 3:36 PM
@edelsemple.bsky.social making an unexpected appearance … say Pericles thrice and there she is! #BritGrad2025

Calvert starts with definitions: Doubling - the playing of two or more parts (wearing a fun hat perhaps) #BritGrad2025

Considering first the dagger … the use of a the dagger as a prop fuses the physical real dagger with the texts metaphorical one. #BritGrad2025
