I am currently undertaking doctoral research into the audiences of live theatre broadcasts, primarily focused on audiences for broadcasts of Shakespeare productions in screening venues, online and in schools. I am particularly interested in how new media might be changing how audiences access, encounter, and value theatre and performance. I am hoping the network will facilitate dialogue between audience researchers, as well as opening up a crucial conversation between academic researchers and those working in industry, helping to shape and promote future research into audiences.
