As much of the world went into lockdown in spring 2020, we wanted to provide a platform for research and creativity, championing the brilliant arts and knowledge-making going on in the world right now across different sectors, time periods and disciplines in an informal, fun fashion. A Bit Lit is the result.Our website www.abitlit.co hosts conversations, talks, Q&As, readings and creative work from cool, groovy and interesting people. At a time when it can be easy to be caught between the two options of panicking or trying to switch our brains off, we hope this will be a fun and silly and good place to put your brain for a few minutes.Explore our library of conversation between researchers, performers, creatives, and makers of all sorts, where we discuss what it means to think about history, culture, and creativity. We also make videos driven by the passion of research and creative practice that are directed at all learners interested in exploring these questions at home.www.abitlit.co and follow us on twitter at @a_bit_lit

Trevor, Carla, Shakespeare and Latinidad

In this film Trevor Boffone and Carla Della Gatta tell us about their new book, Shakespeare and Latinidad, which they hope will be 'of value to anyone wanting to make culturally-relevant Shakespeare' productions. The book contains 25 essays by both theatre scholars and practitioners and celebrates the more than 130 Latinx productions of Shakespeare taking place since 1969. Trevor and Carla emphasise the importance of co-creation between art and knowledge, practitioners and scholars, and exploring new ways for theatres to create self-documentation and archiving practices. Both literature and theatre are made by 'living and breathing real people', they tell us, and they stress the need to ground ourselves in the orality, sound, noise and silences of creative work.
