Film and theatre together form one of the most intellectually vibrant fields in the arts and humanities. Both are live, time-based art forms with their own histories, aesthetic traditions, and critical languages, and yet they are deeply intertwined: film grew out of theatrical traditions, and theatre has been transformed by cinematic techniques, technologies, and ways of seeing. Studying them together means developing a rich understanding of how stories are told, how performers embody characters, how space, light, and time are used to create meaning, and how audiences make sense of what they see.

Reading has a strong tradition in both
