Following 13 successful years, the Routledge journal Research in Drama Education (RiDE) will be re-launched in 2009. The new journal will be known as Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance and will move to four issues each year.
Interested parties are invited to contribute to the upcoming open editions of RiDE to be published in 2009 and 2010. Papers on all aspects of performance practice within the journal's remit are invited, whether they are from scholars or practitioners who contest the term 'applied theatre' or from those for whom the place of drama and theatre in education is a central concern.
To mark the relaunch of the journal, organisers are looking for contributions to a section of the journal that will debate the place of drama education, applied theatre and performance in the past, present and future. Scholarly papers, provocations, interviews or scripted conversations are invited to a section called Histories and Manifestos, which aims to create a space for a robust dialogue between scholarship and practice.
