The general theme of the scholarly research presented in this book is framed

by the objectives of our series dedicated to University Theatre, which studies

the wide range of theatre pedagogy, creation, research, and the management

of performance activities, processes, and meetings. It addresses theatre activities,

both student and professional, developed under the umbrella of the

university system. The creative research processes that take place in classrooms,

in student groups, or in professional companies sponsored by these institutions

are guided by university principles and by the knowledge of theatre

practice and study.

We collectively condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing unprovoked aggression against the Ukrainian people.


We send a message of support and solidarity to our friends and colleagues working in theatre and universities in the Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and elsewhere who have been impacted by these events, or who are suffering due to their speaking out against these events.


We pledge to work pro-actively with Ukrainian theatre groups and those undertaking university theatre activities by reaching out to them and seeking communication and collaboration in the spirit of advocacy and encouragement.
