Aims & Scope
Theatre, Dance and Performance Training (TDPT) is a twice-yearly, peer-reviewed journal which acts as a research forum for practitioners, academics, creative artists and pedagogues interested in training in all its complexity and across cultures. The journal is dedicated to revealing the vital and diverse processes of training and their relationship to performance making, including those from the past, from the present, and into the future. This diversity is reflected in the journal's international scope and interdisciplinary form and focus.
TDPT acts as an outlet for documenting and analysing primary materials relating to regimes of performer training as well as encouraging discursive contributions in a range of critical and creative formats. It provides a valuable meeting-point for practitioner-researchers wanting to know more about training before, beneath, beyond and within performance.
Some key areas of interest for all three sections of the journal include:
- Training purposes: why train, who trains and what is trained?
- Training histories: the currency of historic training approaches in the C21st
- Training futures: emerging trends and methodologies
- Interdisciplinary training/Training interdisciplinarity
- Derivations, lineages and (false) traditions
- Documentation and training
- Training places: laboratories, conservatoires, universities, schools, ensembles
- Training the untrainable: intuition, creativity, presence, talent
- Intercultural training
- The languages of training and the problems of translation
- Embodied knowledge and its dissemination
- The politics and ethics of training
- Training for and with new media
- Training pedagogies and pedagogues
- Lifelong or continuing training
