Drama Research Seminar: Dick McCaw

Dick McCaw is currently a Senior Lecturer at RHUL. As Artistic Director of the International Workshop Festival between 1993 to 2001, he organised programmes of professional workshops with distinguished international practitioners, which he has archived in close collaboration with Peter Hulton. Dick has also worked intensively on the Laban archive in Leeds. This experience will prompt him to reflect on the choices one makes in constructing a theatrical archive, which in addition to serving the needs of practitioners, also creates the raw material out of which theatre history is eventually made.
