Professor Matthew Isaac Cohen
Department of Drama & Theatre

Traditional theatrical arts, once decried as regressive, recollected nostalgically, or mourned for their imminent passing, have resurged in the global ecumene. New generations of practitioners bring fresh energies to established genres, hybrid and intermedial arts are emerging, and old forms are being critically reframed and reinvented. This ludic performance-lecture with wayang kulit puppets from Java (Indonesia) riffs on tradition in modernity, considers the roles of ‘outside’ researchers and practitioners of Asian performance, and celebrates the embracement of otherness.

Inaugural Lecture

Admission free but pre-booking is essential – please click here to book your tickets.  The lecture will be followed by a reception.

Car parking
When you arrive for a College event at our Egham campus, please park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4. Car park 12 can be accessed by turning right as you enter the main College gates; it is next to the tennis courts. Car park 1E and 1W are the car parks situated around Founder’s Building; you drive straight ahead to reach these as you come through the main College gates. If either of these car parks is full, please drive further onto our campus to car park 4, which is behind the Students’ Union. Blue Badge holders can find designated parking spaces in Car Parks 1E and 1W, as well as between Garden Lodge and the Williams Annexe. If you require any assistance on arrival, please contact our Premises team in advance of your visit by emailing:premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk and they will be happy to help. Please note that we do operate an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system on certain parts of our campus. However, if you are here for an organised event at any time of the day and park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4, you do not need to worry about registering for a permit. We want to welcome you to our campus to enjoy as many events as possible, so you can park in car parks 1E, 1W, 12 or 4 during all College events without the worry of being captured by the cameras. If you have any questions about parking, please email: premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk
