Theatre, Dance and Performance Training (TDPT) is a twice-yearly, peer-reviewed journal which acts as a research forum for practitioners, academics, creative artists and pedagogues interested in training in all its complexity and across cultures. The journal is dedicated to revealing the vital and diverse processes of training and their relationship to performance making, including those from the past, from the present, and into the future. This diversity is reflected in the journal's international scope and interdisciplinary form and focus. TDPT acts as an outlet for documenting and analysing primary materials relating to regimes of performer training as well as encouraging discursive contributions in a range of critical and creative formats. It provides a valuable meeting-point for practitioner-researchers wanting to know more about training before, beneath, beyond and within performance.Some key areas of interest for all three sections of the journal include:Training purposes: why train, who trains and what is trained?Training histories: the currency of historic training approaches in the C21stTraining futures: emerging trends and methodologiesInterdisciplinary training/Training interdisciplinarity Derivations, lineages and (false) traditionsDocumentation and training Training places: laboratories, conservatoires, universities, schools, ensemblesTraining the untrainable: intuition, creativity, presence, talentIntercultural trainingThe languages of training and the problems of translationEmbodied knowledge and its disseminationThe politics and ethics of trainingTraining for and with new mediaTraining pedagogies and pedagoguesLifelong or continuing training The editors are currently inviting submissions for three distinct areas of the journal:Articles For the largest section of the journal, submissions are sought in the form of articles, critiques and extended analyses.
