Abstract
Abstract The London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) is a biennial festival of theatre, performance, and cultural events. The organisation also supports year-round activity in London. LIFT was founded by Rose Fenton and Lucy Neal, with the first festival in 1981 hoping to ‘challenge British theatre and open a window on the world’. It has been a significant force in internationalising the UK theatre scene over the past 40 years.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Theatre Review (CTR) analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today. It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work. Recognising the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts.
