Database
As a result of more than 3 years of research, the team has created a searchable, digitised resource that houses over 2,000 artefacts related to performance and conflict. The artefacts (documents, images, videos, interviews, etc.) originate in many international contexts and link to specific organisations, people, performance events and conflicts.
The interactive mapping section also displays organisations, events and people geographically using Google maps. This database is a unique resource that will be useful to scholars, practitioners, students and members of the public interested in the intersections between theatre and conflict. Both site specific (country/ region) and theme specific (trauma, reconciliation, etc) interests can be explored on the database. In addition, the range of materials collected illustrates the complexity and diversity of performance practice in relation to conflict all over the world.
