Vorlesung: 'The glass ceiling and marginalisation'

"Marginalisation in performance" (Dr. Imke Lichterfeld)
Part of the lecture series and collaborative interdisciplinary research project "Democratisation and Power Structures".
“If we want to reflect the society in which we live we need to allow other voices to be heard, other stories to be told.“ This profession on casting of formerly marginalised groups in the theatre was announced by Gregory Doran, the Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He assembled a diverse, inclusive ensemble that presented “a massive crack in the glass ceiling”, the imagined threshold of traditionally white male castings.
Professed colour-conscious and gender-conscious casting can highlight this. What about people with different health issues recognised as disabilities?
