‘[...] [T]he stage, like the pulpit, the podium, or the witness box, provides a platform for the unspoken – the absent— word – as well as an aesthetic space in which to evoke an absent world.’ [Linda Park-Fuller, 2000]
Josh Green - Director & Researcher
I am a PhD student at the University of Warwick, in the French Department, and I was lucky enough to be awarded one of only twenty seven prestigious Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities nationwide (worth a total of £78,000) for my research proposal entitled ‘Performing the Shoah: Representing Atrocity’. Part of my proposal involves an interdisciplinary performance aspect, whereby this PhD has the capacity to go beyond the traditionally dry exercise that it tends to be. I received the Warwick Italian Prize for Academic Achievement in my first and final year of my undergraduate degree (BA (Hons) 1st Class – University of Warwick, French & Italian Studies). My Master’s degree, passed with Distinction (University of Warwick, 2013), which focused on contemporary representations of the Holocaust in French culture, was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, a rare accolade for Master’s level work.
My experience as an actor and a director played a large part in influencing my decision to pursue a doctorate of this nature, because of the skill and the passion that I want to bring to it. I am a member of the National Youth Theatre, a company member of InDepth Theatre, and I performed in my first professional production at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Still Life, DeadPosh Productions). My recent directing credits include Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman (Warwick Arts Centre Studio, 2012), which was shortlisted for the National Student Drama Festival 2013, and Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things (Warwick University Humanities Studio, 2013).
