Theatre and Performance Across Cultures

Connecting worlds of performance

Publishing

TAPAC focuses on opening channels for dialogue and sharing perspectives across cultural and linguistic borders. Together with key partners such as the Grotowski Institute, we publish a variety of scholarly and source materials from different traditions, in both print and digital formats.

Multimedia

TAPAC works with artists, scholars, and documentarists to create mixed-mode accounts of training and performance processes. We produce resources incorporating photo and audiovisual essays, interviews, rehearsal notes, designs and sketches, professional profiles, and remastered video records.

Translation

We believe that theatre and performance research cannot depend on the view from only a single locale or linguistic context. TAPAC’s members and collaborators work to make available a wide variety of published and archival content in translation, spanning multiple languages and more than 20 countries.

Open Access

In keeping with our mission, we aim to create and produce publications for a broad, international audience. Full-text content from a growing range of titles can be accessed free on the new community platform TAPAC and Culture Hub built in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute in Poland.
