Latvian Academy of Culture Researchers Participate in the State Research Programme “Letonika for the Development of a Latvian and European Society”

The Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) will participate in the implementation of two projects within the State Research Programme “Letonika for the Development of a Latvian and European Society” (SRP “Letonika”). The objective of the State Research Programme administered by the Ministry of Education and Science is to develop scientifically grounded knowledge and innovative solutions for the advancement of Latvian identity, language, culture, and society, while strengthening Latvia’s resilience in contemporary geopolitical contexts.

The latest special issue “Acting. Reacting. Enacting. Theory and practice in performing arts research” (Vol. 30) of the academic journal “Culture Crossroads” dedicated to performing arts research has been published

Focusing on performing arts, the special issue “Acting. Reacting. Enacting. Theory and practice in performing arts research” brings together a selection of research articles inspired by the conference “Acting. Reacting. Enacting. Theory and Practice in Performing Arts”, which took place in Riga in 2023 during the Baltic Drama Forum. The included articles critically examine evolving paradigms in theatre practice and theory across diverse cultural contexts. The volume covers a wide range of themes – from artistic research to postdramatic performance, from the historical legacy of political theatre to institutional and research challenges in post-Soviet and contemporary contexts, with particular attention to the Baltic theatre landscape.
