PVCRS is very much a companion publication to our ejournal New Voices in Classical Reception Studies. New Voices provides a refereed platform for newer researchers to publish their work. Practitioners' Voices is a response to the growing awareness that Classical Reception research has to recognise the full range of processes that shape the impact of classical material in new contexts. Its aim is to provide a Forum in which theatre directors, designers, dramaturgs, actors, poets, translators, and all involved in the creative practices that are so crucial to classical receptions can discuss the relationship between their work and the classical texts, themes and contexts on which they draw.
We hope that the Forum will also lead to further dialogue between creative practitioners and critics and academics (who are after all also practitioners).
We are extremely grateful not only to the contributors but also to the International Advisory Board for New Voices and Practitioners' Voices for its role in developing new ventures. Suggestions for further areas and contributors to Practitioners' Voices will be very welcome and should be sent to the editor.
