Dear All,
Applications for a co-editor for the TDPT Blog close this Monday, 9 April. Please apply or pass on to those who might be interested.
It might be particularly of interest to those Early Career Researchers looking to develop their networks of academics and practitioners.
Wee look forward to hearing from you!
Best Wishes,
James
We are currently seeking a new member to join the editorial team of the TDPT Blog, www.theatredanceperformancetraining.org.
Associated with the influential journal, Theatre, Dance and Performance Training, published by Routledge, the blog’s interactive presence is designed to encourage a growing community of artists, academics, practitioners and researchers to share practice and debate issues that are currently alive within the disciplines of theatre, dance and performance training.
Now entering its third year, our blog has been highly successful in engaging new audiences for the TDPT journal, creating an online space that promotes spontaneous and productive conversation and debate. As we grow further it will represent a productive and discursive teaching ‘tool’ – or forum – within all levels of education and training preoccupied with dance, performance and theatre.
This opportunity will offer the chance to develop your own networks with scholars and practitioners, as well as contribute to the shape and direction of contemporary discussions on training.
We invite applications from researchers from any stage of their career, but especially Post-Graduate Research Students and Early Career Researchers who are actively seeking to develop their research and practice networks. We also encourage those with an active interest in Practice-based research and/or Live Art, and those who have familiarity with editing audio-visual material. As we are seeking to broaden our outlook and audience, we are interested to connect with scholars who reside outside England but above all we are looking for a team member who is highly organised, can work well in a team, and has a passion for the field of theatre, dance, and performance training.
The successful applicant will participate in regular Skype meetings with the Blog team to discuss the administration of the site and curation of posts. They will also seek out new content from practitioners and scholars and liaise with these authors throughout the content-making process. Such content may take the form of writing, photo essays, audio-visual files, and/or other innovative approaches. Applicants should be comfortable with editing and curating such content.
For further information, please contact blog editors, James McLaughlin, [email protected] (University of Greenwich), Bryan Brown, [email protected] (University of Exeter), or Maria Kapsali, [email protected] (University of Leeds).
To apply, please send a one-page statement of your relevant skills, interests and aspirations for the journal with an accompanying CV to James McLaughlin, [email protected] by Monday, 9 April, 2018.
