We warmly invite you to join us for a celebration of Mike Pearson and his work as a teacher, workshop leader and professor of Performance Studies.
The event will bring together former students and colleagues of Mike’s to reflect on his teaching approaches, their impact and the unique pedagogies of the Performance Studies degree, and to explore the legacies of his work for the future of the teaching and making of performance.
The event will be held on the 19 and 20 May 2023 (pm - pm) at the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies (TFTS) at Aberystwyth University. It will mark the first anniversary of Mike’s death and the deposit of his papers to Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru | The National Library of Wales, and will be part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of TFTS in 2023.
