Let's look at the course outline.

Number one, definitions, methods, and resources.

The second week, theatre on the move, migration, mobility.

The third week we'll be looking at global players, managers, actors, and agents.

Number four, global hubs and local theatres.

Five, East versus West, Cold War rivalries.

Six, festivalization, McTheatre, and live streams.

In our first module today, I've already explained some of

our basic assumptions and definitions of what we consider as theater and

how we can understand its history from the perspective of globalization.

For the rest of this session, I will expand a bit more on the resources you can

use for contributing to this kind of research and what digital archives you

can find on the web that offer you possibilities to learn more about theatre.

Next week, we will talk about theatre on the move.

How we can relate migration and

mobility to the dissemination of theatre in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

And what role theater played in times much like our own when millions of

people migrated all over the world.

In our third module,

we will focus on the people who organized the global migration of theater.

Actors, managers, and theatrical agents who toured the world in order to

provide entertainment wherever people were willing to pay.

They were the global players of the theater,

many of whom have been forgotten by traditional theater history.

The places where theater was shown and

performed form the topic of our fourth module.

As I've mentioned, the practice of theater is always a local event

where a certain performance takes place.

For this course, however, we will think of these buildings as cultural hubs or

contact zones between different people, languages, and cultures.

The first four modules of our course will be predominantly dealing with

examples from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

But, of course, globalization in theater is also an important issue for

the Cold War period.

So, in our fifth session,

we will talk about theater as a site of rivalry between East and West and

discuss the so-called cultural Cold War, and how it played out in the theater.

Last but not least, in our sixth module,

we will explore contemporary types of theater, which will reflect

globalization as we've been experiencing during the last 20 or 30 years.

We will discuss theatre festivals as sites of exchange between theatre makers

from all over the world, the success of mega musicals, and the new technology

of livestreaming, which is bringing theater and opera into cinemas near you.
