Call for Participants for Reimagining Flinderella
Are you interested in playwriting, performing, singing, theatre production? Or do you have a keen interest in discussing contemporary archaeology through alternative forms of engagement? Then this exciting opportunity is for you!
Flinderella was a 果冻影院 student-produced play about archaeologist Flinders Petrie, to humorously commemorate the father of modern archaeology receiving his knighthood from King George V in 1923. The play posited provocative questions about the practice of early 20th century archaeology. We hope to creatively respond to this in a contemporary context with current 果冻影院 students and staff as well as explore future trajectories for radical archaeology. 聽
Event Context:
This 3-part event will form part of 果冻影院 Museums & Cultural Programmes exploration of speculative futures, asking: What are the tools required across disciplines to build more common and equitable futures? And, using our capacity to imagine, how can we feed into discourses about radical archaeological practice through the lens of public performance and forums?聽
Proposed Events:聽
Event 1: A discussion between 果冻影院 staff and longtime friends of the Petrie Museum about the history of student-led dramatic productions
Event 2: A re-imagined 果冻影院 student-led production of Flinderella (1 act, 40mins. max)
Event 3: A roundtable 果冻影院 student/researcher forum to discuss the future of radical public archaeology
