“What do we do with the undocumented, the erased, the redacted, the unrecorded, the disappeared, the crossed out, the burned out, the missing of it all?”
At the 2023 ADSA Conference, we grapple with what is missing, and what might never be found. We interrogate practices of forgetting and remembering, and the allure of anniversaries, as well as considering how we as artists, creators, and performers contribute to a living archive, while looking to the future of archives of performance.
The Performing Arts Heritage Network working group will be held on Monday 27th November at the Wall Gallery, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Adelaide, as part of the 2023 Australasian Association for Theatre, Drama & Performance Studies conference.
We are hosting three sessions: Australian Theatre Here and Abroad, Ausstage Takeaways and Asian Resonances with nine presentations and the PAHN AGM (all welcome).
Day Registration (for the PAHN WG or another single day of the conference) is $110 or registration for the full five day conference is $165-330. Full details including registration here.
The draft timetable is now available and can be viewed and downloaded here.
Full details on the ADSA 2023 Adelaide website. Hope to see you there!
