Performing Citizenship Project
The Performing Citizenship project began in January 2022 and will run until December 2026. The project is concerned with amateur theatre in Europe in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, and the role of non-professional theatre in the development of the modern concept of citizenship. Around 1800, in a time of significant political change and social shifts in Europe, the non-professional theatre offered educative possibilities for the acquisition of skills deemed essential to becoming a ‘good citizen’. The project has a particular focus on amateur theatrical activities in Germany, France, Britain, Sweden and Switzerland between 1780-1850.
The project is funded by the European Research Council and is based at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, with the University of Warwick being a collaborative partner. The five project members are Professor Meike Wagner (Principal Investigator), Dr. David Coates, Dr. Maria Gullstam, Julia Stina Skoglund (MA) and Katrin Frühinsfeld (MA). The full title of the project is 'Performing Citizenship: Social and Political Agency in Non-Professional Theatre Practice in Germany, France, Britain, Sweden and Switzerland (1780-1850)'.
In order to gather information on historical non-professional theatre, involving citizen science/community scholarship, and to create an open access archive for amateur theatres still active today, PC started the present Amateur theatre Wiki in the autumn of 2022.
