Welcome to the inaugural edition of NUTS NZ <\/b>– 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 hope this initiative will insure we are better able to support each other, collaborate together, and present a more united front in terms of important issues facing our discipline area in NZ.\u00a0 <\/b>To insure we stay connected, NUTS NZ <\/b>will\u00a0provide updates on current research, seminars, events, and initiatives.\u00a0Each newsletter issue will comprise stories, pictures, news items and potentially short interviews. NUTS NZ will focus specifically on theatre initiatives in\u00a0New Zealand\/Aotearoa. We\u00a0will also have a segment in each newsletter in which we profile an academic AND a postgraduate student. This is a great opportunity to stay connected with \u201cour\u201d people and keep abreast of what one another are doing.\u00a0In our first edition, we are pleased to be profiling Dr Laura Haughey and masters\u2019 student Mihailo Ladjevac.\u00a0In order to bring you the best updates in our area, we will be calling for submissions from each and every one of you.\u00a0Thank you to all of you who have provided material for this edition and we look forward to working with you throughout the year to ensure this new initiative is a success.<\/p>\n
