What is In Place of War?
In Place of War researches theatre and performance practice from sites of crisis and armed conflict. The first decade of the 21 st century has witnessed multiple wars and humanitarian crises - connected to the instabilities of economic globalization, historical political grievance, global structural inequity and new forms of ecological threat. While the events of our contemporary 'times of blood and crime' are not without historical precedent, they have never before had such evident global reach, impact and interconnectedness.
In Place of War Network
The In Place of War: Theatre, Performance and War Research and Practice Network is a collaborative initiative for academic and practice-based research into the role, function and impact of theatre and performance in places of armed conflict.

Database and Interactive Mapping
The In Place of War team have created an online database housing hundreds of digital artefacts connected with war and performance. The database contains documents, film, images and audio along with a substantial directory of organisations and an events archive. The data can also be displayed geographically using aerial world maps. To launch the database click here. For more info visit the database page here.
