Feminist Theatre: Documenting The Past, Inspiring The Future brings together theatre makers, artists, thinkers, and archivists to explore the women’s and feminist theatre movement, from the 1960s through to the 1990s and into the present day. 

The symposium will consist of panel talks exploring the Unfinished Histories archive, legacies of women’s and feminist practices in British alternative theatre, and key concerns around documenting and archiving fringe theatre. This will be followed by a soft launch for the new Radical Rediscoveries publication, a long table discussion, and will culminate with a drinks reception.

Guest speakers will include Professor Anna Furse; Paula Brown, producer of Women Live and Katrina Duncan of Women In Entertainment in the 80s; writer and performer Rose Collis; experimental theatre-maker Natasha Morgan and site-specific theatre artist Geraldine Pilgrim, with more to be announced soon.

This symposium is part of the events programme for the exhibition Radical Rediscovery: Feminist Theatre in Britain 1969-1992 is organised by Unfinished Histories as part of the Associate Artists Programme.
