DATE: Saturday & Sunday 15-16 January 2000 VENUE: Goldsmith's College, Lewisham Way, New Cross, LONDON SE14 6NW (This is co-organized with the University of Kent.) Where is radio drama after seventy-five years and what is its future? What is the dialogue between radio drama, the theatre, and the novel? What is core theory for radio drama? What are the connections with film/theatre sound theory and reception theory? Radio drama is no longer the 'Cinderella' - there is a new wave of publishing, theory-building, historical studies and participant-observer studies. MORE ON THE CONFERENCE: Some practitioners - playwrights, producers, the IRDP independent production company, and actors - will attend and the intention is to have one or more combined sessions on theory and practice, and workshops. Students are also encouraged to participate and part of the agenda is to strengthen the teaching of radio drama, to encourage publications, to network, to support students researching radio, to bring together a mix of the academy with practitioners, and to foster best practice in radio drama production, pedagogy and theory.
