Notes

² Peter Eckersall was a speaker on this panel, and this summary is based on his observations.

³ These papers were developed from a panel on Tokyo/Olympics as practice-based research at the Performance Studies International conference in Copenhagen 2008 and edited by Peter Eckersall. Tokyo/Olympics received support from the Theatre Research Institute at Waseda University as an activity of their Global Centre of Excellence programme. Research for this project has been supported by the Global CoE programme and the Australian Research Council.
