The London Theatre Seminar is an inter-collegiate seminar hosted by the Centre for Contemporary Theatre and attracts participants from all theatre departments in London. The seminar is a public forum for the development of theatre and performance scholarship and its inter-collegiate and collaborative aspects are central to the productively speculative nature of its enquiry.
