Summary
Grant Overview
Theater and Performance Studies Fund in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has a historical legacy in theater and performance, particularly in the context of its pre-1700 cultural landscape. However, the need for systematic documentation and publication of scholarly work in this area faces significant barriers. Less than 30% of local theater scholars report adequate funding to pursue projects that delve into the state’s early theatrical traditions, highlighting a critical gap in the preservation of New Hampshire’s rich performing arts heritage.
Eligible applicants will primarily consist of scholars, researchers, and theater practitioners who focus on the performance arts in New Hampshire before 1700. Many of these individuals are affiliated with local colleges and universities, but they often encounter a lack of financial resources to publish their research. Additionally, the need for collaboration within local theater communities remains underserved, creating further difficulties in promoting and documenting pre-1700 performances.
This grant initiative provides up to $8,000 in funding to assist eligible applicants in their quest to publish scholarly works that contribute to the understanding of theater and performance in New Hampshire's early history. The requirement for proof of work approval for publication ensures a commitment to scholarly rigor and relevance. Through this funding, the initiative aims to illuminate the early theatrical narratives that have shaped New Hampshire’s artistic landscape.
To enhance the impact of the published works, the program encourages partnerships with local theaters to facilitate productions, workshops, and community events. Such collaborations will provide platforms for authors to showcase their research while fostering enriched community engagement and education concerning theater history.
In summary, the Theater and Performance Studies Fund in New Hampshire is designed to address the significant barriers faced by scholars in the realm of performing arts publications. By providing targeted funding and encouraging local collaborations, the initiative seeks to preserve, promote, and illuminate the state’s rich theatrical heritage, giving a voice to the narratives that shaped New Hampshire’s cultural identity.
