The RESONANCE Reading Group is a monthly meeting that brings together members of the academic community, colleagues, friends, and enthusiasts of contemporary cultural history to reflect on and discuss a fundamental text or book. It is part of the project RESONANCE — Epistemologies for the Documentation of Affect and Becoming in Cultural Manifestations in Performance (1969-1979).

The fourth session focuses on the chapter “Independent Music Theatre in Berlin: Breaking Out of Traditional Discourses and Building New Structures”, by Martina Stütz. This chapter traces the development of independent musical-theatre in Berlin since the 1990s, drafting its ecologies of practice through forms of diversity and interdisciplinarity. This reading group is going to be led by Filipa Magalhães (Research Group on Contemporary Music, CESEM).

This reading group is going to be led by Hélia Marçal (IHA, FCSH-UNL). You can register by emailing Hélia Marçal at heliamarcal@fcsh.unl.pt, to receive a PDF copy of the chapter.
