Proposal for “Experimental Theotre” by Sarah Pogoda

Dear all,

Some of you might know about my passion for theory and my obsession with post-dramatic theatre.

I would like to explore how we can bring the two together, how can theoretical texts act as epiphytes for dramatic texts, how can we graft theoretical textbites and stage, what does theatricality (theatre = θέατρον (théatron = place for viewing) help us to see in a dramatic vs a theoretical text?

I have no clue how this will take form, where it will go, nor whether these are the real questions to inquire, but I am very sure that I would like to experiment on this with you.

I envisage a regular date for coming together (in-person, in Bangor with hybrid Zoom link option for those further afield), starting early February 2026.

Please let me know if you are interested by sending me an email, including preferences for days and times. As I am back teaching, Monday-Thursday is only possible after 4pm, or anytime Friday - Sunday.

Thank you all,

Sarah
