This call for papers was released in concert with the publication of ArtsPraxis Volume 7, Issue 1 and upon the launch of the new ArtsPraxis homepage. The submission deadline for Volume 7, Issue 2b was July 15, 2020. Submissions fell under the category of Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre. Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre As of early June, 2020, we found ourselves about ten days into international protests following the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Protesters the world over made specific calls to action: acknowledge that black lives matter, educate yourself about social and racial injustice, and change the legal system that allows these heinous acts to go unpunished. In thinking through how we in the field of educational theatre could proactively address these needs, I reminded myself that there were many artists and educators who were already deeply engaged in this work.

A starting point for effective representation are the “protected characteristics” defined by the Equality Act 2010 including, but not limited to, race, gender, sexuality, and disability, as well as their intersections. We recognise that definitions of diversity and representation are dynamic and constantly evolving and our content will aim to reflect this. Representology is a forum where academic researchers and media industry professionals can come together to pool expertise and experience. We seek to create a better understanding of the current barriers to media participation as well as examine and promote the most effective ways to overcome such barriers. We hope the journal will influence policy and practice in the media industry through a rigorous, evidence-based approach. Our belief is that a more representative media workforce will enrich and improve media output, enabling media organisations to better serve their audiences, and encourage a more pluralistic and inclusive public discourse. This is vital for a healthy society and well-functioning democracy. We look forward to working with everyone who shares this vision. 2 ISSUE 01 WINTER 2020 CONTENTS EDITORIAL 04 Lessons from history In the wake of Black Lives Matter, many Sir Lenny Henry and David Olusoga people at the helm of the UK media industry interview.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Shakespeare’s Globe announces Winter Season for 2018/19 in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse 18 JUNE 2018 Shakespeare’s Globe is delighted to announce its Winter Season for 2018/19 in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Featuring two pairings of plays by William Shakespeare and his celebrated counterpart, Christopher Marlowe, this call and response season opens on 7 November 2018. Throughout the season we are also inviting today’s artists to examine, rework and elaborate on these 400-year-old provocations with new work written in response to Shakespeare and Marlowe. William Shakespeare’s Macbeth will be directed by Robert Hastie, opening the season as a timely reminder of the destruction that can result from the quest for power, and an examination of the evil forces that can take root in the imagination of a tyrant. Robert is the Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres, where he has directed their critically acclaimed productions Julius Caesar, Of Kith and Kin and The Wizard of Oz. Robert directed Michelle Terry in the titular role of Henry V at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre (2016). He also directed Breaking the Code at Manchester’s Royal Exchange in the play’s first major revival for 30 years. Opening on 1 December, Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus will be directed by Paulette Randall, and plays alongside Macbeth. The cautionary tale examines the very nature of human curiosity and our unparalleled thirst for knowledge. Paulette’s theatre credits include Fences starring Lenny Henry (Theatre Royal Bath, West End), Gem of the Ocean, Blues for Mr Charlie (Tricycle) and Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune (Chichester Festival Theatre).

  • Comic Relief's Lenny Henry Named a Keynote at Promaxbda Europe 2018
    Comic Relief's Lenny Henry Named a Keynote at PromaxBDA Europe 2018 01.17.2018 Sir Lenny Henry, stand-up comedian and co-creator of British charity Comic Relief, has been named a keynote speaker at PromaxBDA Europe 2018. Henry is a groundbreaking entertainer and storyteller with experience in acting, writing and television production, who will take the stage at PromaxBDA's conference taking place this year in Rome at the Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria. The event from March 12-13 brings together creatives and marketers from around the world to share in learning, networking and a cross cultural exchange of ideas. Henry was knighted in 2015 for his services to drama and charity, which includes co-founding Comic Relief, an organization with a mission to end child poverty that's perhaps best known throughout the U.K. for Red Nose Day, part of an annual telethon held in March. Henry has been making people laugh since the age of 16. He got his start as a comedy impressionist on the '70s talent show New Faces, and is also known for appearances on TISWAS, Three of a Kind, The Lenny Henry Show, Hope & Glory, Lenny Henry in Pieces and Chef! In radio, he has worked as a DJ on BBC Radio 1, and as well starring in the comedy Rudy's Rare Records and presenting the series Lenny and Will for Radio 4. He made his acting debut as Othello in the Northern Broadsides production at the Trafalgar Studios-a role for which he received the London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Newcomer.
