Inaugural Lecture – Professor Claire Hind

Stories from the Flickering Light: Writing, Playing and Performing Contemporary Theatre.

Stories from the Flickering Light is a performance lecture exploring the charged and otherworldly creative space where dreams and reality merge. Professor Claire Hind will draw upon the concepts and strategies for writing contemporary theatre, recalling significant moments from her international career, spanning over a 20-year period, performing in diverse spaces and for public audiences. Asserting that playfulness is both an attitude and a state of mind, Claire maintains that sustaining a belief in play is an integral part of a creative process; an uncanny experience of imagination that stirs the senses and gives meaning to teaching and learning in profound ways.
