Last September, this blog
explored the fun, yet often melancholy world of the Victorian music hall and
the lives of those who illuminated the stage. (read those articles here:)
But for a more in-depth
exploration of this fascinating world of gas-light, music, laughs and
celebrity, I direct you toward the fabulous Hoxton Hall – an original 1860’s
music hall – for a day of music hall history and gaiety!
From Charlie Chaplin to
Vesta Tilley, the working-class theatre and its performers captured the
imagination of the Victorian and Edwardian period. This exciting and unique
conference explores how such a controversial art form influenced popular
perceptions, and still resonates in the world we live in today.
Held at Hoxton Hall, on May
11th 2013, and organized by King’s College, London
and the University
of Liverpool , this
one-day conference will explore the history of one of the most exciting,
subversive and controversial forms of theatre from the 19th Century.
The first example of mass
entertainment in Britain ,
the music hall’s influence over fashion, language, society, and culture
continues to resonate today, while remaining one of the most enduring art forms
of the Victorian period. On the other side of the Atlantic ,
vaudeville had a similar impact, helping produce a mass audience of consumers,
in advance of the development of film and television. In addition, American
performers found opportunities in the UK , and vice versa, becoming
carrier of cultural exchange in the process.

We are looking for papers
from all disciplines: Drama, Performance Studies, History, English, Geography,
Music, Social Sciences, and Digital Humanities, etc.
We welcome submissions from
established scholars, early career researchers, Phd students, as well as
performers, and members of relevant societies.
Papers could explore:
This conference takes place
on 11th May 2013 at 9am.
£25.00 Full Admission
£20 Concession for Students

How I wish I could attend that conference, but I live on the other side of the Atlantic. I have always found the music halls of England interesting to learn about. I love the Victorian Era, and they seem so "key" to that period as far as everyday lives went.

I think, directly outside they had a cafe where they serve snacks and wine- although we went the cheap route for dinner (a food truck on the side of the street!) I want to come back here again.
