Performance and Practice-Based Research

Fair Play Kenya

Fair Play Kenya was a two-day arts festival exploring the interrelated issues of climate crisis, land justice and conflict held at the National Theatre of Kenya, Nairobi in November 2025.

The festival was co-created by partners including The Playhouse, Derry (Northern Ireland), Amani People’s Theatre and ZamaleoACT (Kenya) and the University of Warwick. As part of this work, a co-created Practice as Research project investigated these issues with groups of young people in Birmingham, Nairobi and Derry.

The Women's Comedy Workshop

Natalie Diddams established The Women's Comedy Workshop in 2016 at Theatre in the Mill in Bradford. This practice-based project set out to explore how comic techniques might be used to challenge restrictive and outmoded forms of gender representation, and how comedy might create possibilities for feminist empowerment.

The project has also given rise to a new approach to teaching comedy, centred on laughter, play and collaborative writing.
