Bye bye London, I love you with a quiet fierceness for providing theatre, queer books, chats with friends and (a small selection of) English foods that only taste nice here❣️

Happy day to find my book @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @methuendrama.bsky.social @nationaltheatre.org.uk @ntbookshop.bsky.social Researching for + writing it @qmul.ac.uk as a @humboldt-foundation.de fellow between 2018-2020 was a formative period for me and has shaped my thinking about theatre.

Some friends at the University of Freiburg are organising a wonderful conference for PhD candidates and Early Career Researchers on Popular Culture and Democracy - see their CfP below :)

New article combining @sarahbusch.bsky.social‘s and my interest in thinking about the ‚pull‘ performance can exert on spectators.

Happy this is out now as it marks one of my first publications from my new research - The Politics of Queer Be-longing and Acts of Hope in Peter McMaster’s Solo Performance A Sea of Troubles and Split Britches’ “Zoomie” Last Gasp (WFH) - www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

What a wonderful time at the #CDE2024 on #digitaltheatre in Innsbruck: discussions on virtual #co-presence, #viralrealism and #care - in front of a lovely scenery! Thanks to the organizers and participants, it’s been sublime, thought-provoking, and communal.

A fantastic quote early on from @heidilulie.bsky.social: 'Digital theatre begins when a glitch occurs'. #CDE2024

Heidi Liedke delivers the first plenary of the conference, which considers 'Politics of Care in a Digital Age'. #CDE2024

Keynote by @heidilulie.bsky.social about "Politics of Care in a Digital Age: What remains after Viral Theatre" with an inspiring reading of "How it Ends" by @csvich.bsky.social at #CDE2024. How to move forward after the incision theatre and we all have experienced? Only together.

Wishing all colleagues and students a great summer term! I‘m very happy to start my second term at Goethe University and teaching courses ranging from queer spaces in literature and culture to pandemic theatre 📚 youtu.be/nAiY6-cEaWA?...
