Mangle of Practice

Join us for a fun romp into the entanglements and freedoms of bridging theory and practice, and the need for flexible approaches that include human realities and big ideas. As Jacob will explain, the field of theatre is particularly useful for exploring these ideas. In this talk, he will connect his theatre work with metaphors plucked from the history and philosophy of science in the late 20th century.
