Updated August 2018
This summer is all about grant applications! We are applying for a number of new grants to fund exciting wrestling projects. I am also working on new project entitled Modernist Drama in Contemporary Theatre (with Adrian Curtin) and am finishing an article on Elisaveta Fen (a translator of Chekhov's plays), as well as put the finishing touches to a new edition of Modernism/Modernity Print Plus on 'Modernist Drama in a Global Context' (with my co-editors Rebecca Kastlemann and Kevin Riordan). I've begun a new book project, am writing an article about women's wrestling on film and completing a collaborative book chapter (with Ben Litherland and Tom Phillips) entitled 'Is this Progress? Punk, Participation and (Potential) Radical Politics of British Wrestling' for a book on Politics and Wrestling (Seagull Press 2019).
Having recently secured a Modernist Studies Association Travel Grant, I'll be heading out to the archives at Yale University later in the year. I will be speaking at the European Avant-Garde and Modernism Network conference in Munster (Germany) in September and the Modernist Studies Association in Ohio in November.
...and if you want to see a wrestling show, head along to Nottingham Contemporary Art Gallery on September 8th for Spandex Ballet, the next in our series of wrestling events.
