The IFTR Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy (TAD) Working Group will 
be meeting at the IFTR conference in Galway, Ireland, 13-17 July 2020.



THE WORKING GROUP:

Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy (TAD) is an interdisciplinary 
Working Group whose members research within the respective fields of 
theatre translation, adaptation and dramaturgy and, more interestingly, 
at the intersections of those, combining interests in the local and the 
global, historical and contemporary, text and performance, theory and 
practice, critical theory, cultural studies, ethics, politics and 
aesthetics. The group works towards both individual and shared outputs 
and involves short and long-term collaborations, as well as an ongoing 
commitment to rigour, curiosity and new ideas.
