WS 2017_2018 Central Theme: „Digital.Theatre. History“ (DTH)

Central Theme: „Digital.Theatre. History“ (DTH)

The GTH Centre's central theme for the upcoming winter semester (2017/2018) is Digital: Theatre – Culture – History.
The so called 'digital revolution' has not only changed our everyday modes of communication or habits of consumption. It has also influenced – and in exceptional cases even revolutionized – our ways of knowledge acquisition and the accessibility to culture(s) in many ways. Be it research, education, communication or artistic practices: digital media and tools have become inevitable for theatre research, historiography, and archiving, but also for new forms of dramaturgy, theatre practice and cultural institutions.

In the course of the upcoming winter semester, the GTH Centre gives 'the digital' a special forum.
In workshops, seminars (open to young scholars and advanced students of theatre, history, and the arts), public lectures, and roundtable discussions, we will address the stages, studies and obstacles of digitization in research, education and theatre.

The lectures are open to the public.
Workshop participation is subject to registration.
