At this early stage of TaPRA's development the remits of individual Working Groups are necessarily provisional and are posted here for general guidance, subject to discussion (as appropriate) with the Working Group co-ordinators (Baz Kershaw , Roberta Mock and Joel Anderson) and approval by the Executive Committee.
Workgroup Details
TaPRA fosters the creation and ongoing activities of working groups that address specific areas of research through and into theatre and performance. The groups are intended to be inclusive, to allow for creative synergies and to cut across institutional, disciplinary and cultural/geographic boundaries.
Each working group has one or two coordinators who self-identify as prospective leaders of the group and are confirmed in role by the Executive Committee. The role of coordinator(s) will normally rotate on a biennial basis. The coordinators are responsible for ensuring that the respective group works in accordance with the overriding purpose, interests and formal rubrics of TaPRA. The coordinator/s will represent the group’s activities and research outcomes where appropriate at the annual conference and the AGM.
Subject to the provision, above, each group manages its own communications and arranges its own schedule of activities during the year. Working groups are obliged to report on their activities annually to the association via the AGM.
The life-cycle of each group is not pre-determined. Groups may form and disperse according to the interests and energies of members.
The Membership Secretary & Working Group Coordinator will keep a record of groups currently in operation, with contact details of coordinator/s. To view the current activities of the Workgroups, follow the links below:
