Venue: The Linkway, Level 4, John Medley
Presenters: Professor Peta Tait
Human Rights and Animal Ethics Research Network: End of Year Talk
Professor Peta Tait will discuss the significance of animals in theatrical performance from comic cuteness in Broadway hits to the provocative intimidation sought by innovative performance. It argues that while human ‘species blindness’ about depictions of other animals in theatrical performance might be indicative of the wider compartmentalization and invisibility within human daily life, the theatrical staging of emotions and affective experience contributes an additional complication to the visibility of other species.
