The annual conference of the Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) will bring together scholars and artists for three days of working group sessions, panels, and plenary events across Queen Mary’s Mile End campus.
An expansive social and artistic programme, developed in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery, will run throughout the conference, drawing on the Department of Drama’s strong connections to London’s East End and the Live Art sector. For those unable or preferring to attend in person, online participation will be available.
We look forward to welcoming you to East London in September 2026. Please check this page regularly for updates and further information. For any enquiries, please contact us at tapra2026@qmul.ac.uk
