NTW and Aberystwyth University Collaborative Doctoral Studentship

An exciting opportunity for someone! Please contact Carl (details below) for more info.

The Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies (TFTS) at Aberystwyth University invites applications for a collaborative doctoral studentship with National Theatre Wales (NTW). Working closely with NTW and its associated artists, the student will contextualise, theorise and document the twelve productions scheduled for the company’s launch year. Particular attention will be paid to the notion of ‘location’, which is an integral aspect of NTW’s attempt to produce an alternative concept of national theatre for Welsh audiences. Some of the artists involved in NTW’s exciting and innovative first year of work include Rimini Protocol, Owen Sheers, Michael Sheen, and Mike Pearson. Complete details of the launch year can be found on http://nationaltheatrewales.org/content/theatre-map-wales.

This studentship is available to UK/EU applicants only and is designed to cover three years fulltime fees and maintenance, benchmarked to ensure equivalence with the AHRC (currently £13,290). In addition to this, there will be a generous allowance for expenses to cover specific travel and accommodations costs. In order to coincide with NTW’s launch year, the start date will be 1 March 2010

Candidates should hold an excellent first degree in Theatre and Performance Studies and a good research preparation Masters degree. You should be keen to work closely with internationally renowned artists and have a good working knowledge in/of the following areas: national theatre, theatre in Wales, site-specificity, performance documentation, landscape and location.

Interviews will take place at Aberystwyth University in January 2010.

For more information please contact Dr Carl Lavery on 01970 622835 or at cvl@aber.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is 16 December 2009.

Efrydyddiaeth Ddoethurol Gydweithredol

Mae’r Adran Astudiaethau Theatr, Ffilm a Theledu ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth yn gwahodd ceisiadau am efrydyddiaeth ddoethurol ar y cyd â National Theatre Wales (NTW). Gan weithio’n agos ag NTW a’i hartistiaid cysylltiedig, bydd y myfyriwr yn gosod y deuddeg perfformiad a lwyfennir ym mlwyddyn lansio’r cwmni yn eu cyd-destun, a’u cofnodi ac yn damcaniaethu yn eu cylch. Rhoddir sylw arbennig i’r cysyniad o ‘leoliad’, sy’n rhan annatod o ymgais NTW i greu cysyniad amgen o theatr genedlaethol i gynulleidfaoedd Cymru Ymhlith yr artistiaid sy’n rhan o waith cyffrous ac arloesol NTW yn ei blwyddyn gyntaf mae Rimini Protocol, Owen Sheers, Michael Sheen a Mike Pearson. Cewch hyd i fanylion llawn y lansiad yma: http://nationaltheatrewales.org/content/theatre-map-wales.

Dim ond ymgeiswyr o’r Deyrnas Unedig neu’r Undeb Ewropeaidd all fanteisio ar yr efrydyddiaeth a thelir ffioedd a chynhaliaeth amser llawn am dair blynedd, a feincnodir i sicrhau bod hyn yn gyfwerth â’r hyn y mae’r Cyngor Ymchwil y Celfyddydau a’r Dyniaethau yn ei gynnig (£13,290 ar hyn o bryd). Yn ogystal â hyn, rhoddir lwfansau hael i dalu am gostau teithio a llety. Er mwyn i’r efrydyddiaeth gyd-daro â blwyddyn lansio NTW, y dyddiad cychwyn fydd 1 Mawrth 2010.

Dylai fod gan yr ymgeiswyr radd gyntaf ragorol ym maes Astudiaethau Theatr a Pherfformio a dylent feddu ar radd Meistr paratoi ymchwil. Dylent fod yn awyddus i weithio’n agos ag artistiaid o bwys rhyngwladol a dylent feddu ar wybodaeth dda yn y meysydd canlynol: theatr genedlaethol, theatr yng Nghymru, gwaith sy’n ymwneud yn benodol â safleoedd, ysgrifennu am berfformiadau, tirlun a lleoliad.

Cynhelir y cyfweliadau ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth ym mis Ionawr 2010.

I gael rhagor o wybodaeth, cysylltwch â Dr Carl Lavery ar 01970 622835 neu e-bostiwch cvl@aber.ac.uk.

Y dyddiad cau yw 16 Rhagfyr 2009.
