Practical Information
On 21 October, CLIC invites you to the Audio Drama Workshop: Between Theory and Practice, from 13:00 to 17:00 at VUB Campus Etterbeek (Building I, Room I.1.01). Junior researchers will present their work alongside industry professionals, with this year's Lorand Chair Intermediality, Prof. Bénédicte Ledent, serving as the respondent. Each session will include a 20-minute discussion. The workshop aims to encourage collective reflection on audio drama from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
