Performance Research A Journal of the Performing Arts Letters from Europe (original) (raw)

This paper reflects on the complexities of using English as a lingua franca in the context of European performance research, particularly in light of political changes such as Brexit. It critiques the paradox of English speakers apologizing for their language in multicultural settings and emphasizes the importance of inclusive communication. The text advocates for a renewed engagement with European cultural identities through initiatives like the European Association for the Study of Theatre and Performance (EASTAP), positioning this as a crucial space for collaborative inquiry into performance research.
