The art and performance of city strategy in a pandemic

Dr Stuart Andrews (Lecturer in Theatre, Brunel University London) and Dr Patrick Duggan (Associate Professor of Performance and Culture, Northumbria University Newcastle). Together they co-direct Performing City Resilience.

In November 2020, we began working on an AHRC/UKRI funded, COVID-19 Rapid Response research project: ‘Social Distancing and Reimagining City Life: Performative strategies and practices for response and recovery in and beyond lockdown’. We are both academics from performance studies: an area of research that focuses on artistic and everyday performances.
