‘Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice’ – Applying academic research to practical innovations. ​  
Dr David Edwards, Lecturer in Acting for Stage & Screen, 2024

​

​

In this presentation, Dr David Edwards, Reader in Acting for Stage and Screen and the Conference Convenor for the Nightmare Horror Conference and the Re-Staging Theatre & Performance Conference, reflects on the inaugural Nightmare '24 Conference. This international horror conference, held in April 2024, was hosted by staff, postgraduate students, and final-year undergraduate students from the Stage & Screen Faculty at The Northern School of Art. The Conference, titled “Dreams or Nightmares? Madness or Sanity? I Don’t Know Which is Which,” brought together filmmakers, creative practitioners, and academics to explore the representation of mental health in the horror genre from both cinematic and audience perspectives.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
