Editorial<\/h1>\n

Welcome to tenth edition of\u00a0NUTS NZ\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 the Newsletter for University Theatre Studies New Zealand. The purpose of the newsletter is to help us\u00a0communicate more effectively as a community of scholars interested in Theatre and Performance. We have an interesting selection of stories and items for you in our second issue for 2016. In this issue, in our “NUTS People” segment, we profile\u00a0Hilary Halba and Kiri Bell from The University of Otago. We have also included\u00a0information on the upcoming symposia and conferences for the multidisciplinary research project\u00a0“The Performance of the Real” at Otago University. We have two academic vacancies that have opened up at Massey University to circulate. We are also pleased to promote Marianne Schultz’s latest publication\u00a0Performing Indigenous Culture on Stage and Screen.\u00a0<\/em>We also thought we would bring to your attention an interesting article by Associate Professor Tracey Moore (The Hartt School at the University of Hartford), entitled ‘Why Theater Majors Are Vital in the Digital Age<\/a>‘ which was recently published online by the Chronicle of Higher Education. In the article Moore argues that\u00a0‘Theater (slow, communal, physical) may be the cure for what ails us in the digital world’.\u00a0The article raises some important points about the value of University Theatre Majors which might be useful in our\u00a0own advocacy for university theatre programmes in NZ.\u00a0We plan to circulate our eleventh edition of\u00a0NUTS\u00a0NZ\u00a0on the 12th of August, and we will need items of news by\u00a029 July (especially an academic and\u00a0 postgraduate student\u00a0to\u00a0 showcase). As always, submissions should be sent to the NUTS NZ editor Jane Marshall:\u00a0\u00a0j.g.marshall@massey.ac.nz<\/a><\/p>\n

Kind regards,
\nNUTS NZ editors: Jane Marshall and Rand Hazou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
