My research examines how British theatre productions between 1968-2018 which integrate English folk music (re)construct, (re)present and perform English identity and 'Englishness'. I focus on the following principal questions:What statements are made by these productions in relation to the socio-economic, political and cultural moment of nation each production evokes and is created within?What contributions to national narratives are made by these productions, and how are they made?What cultural memory do these productions contribute to and/or create?What facility do these productions have to contribute to the preservation of English cultural formations and the oral and performance traditions that sustain them?Since 1968 English folk music has been integrated into a significant number of professional British theatre productions, ranging from large scale productions on prominent national stages, to small scale rural touring productions. Existing scholarship extensively investigates the relationship between theatre and nation, national identity and nationalism, which extends to the particular examination of Scottish identity in British theatre productions that have integrated and combined Scottish history, language and folk arts such as the Scottish ceilidh. Separately, contemporary English folk arts have, very recently, been acknowledged and interrogated by the academy as a site for constructing English identities. However, there is a notable absence of research into how English folk music (and dance) has been utilised to construct English identity/ies and the ever-elusive 'Englishness' in a remarkable collection of British theatre productions that have appeared throughout the last fifty years, and the contribution this body of work has made to national narratives; my research will begin to rectify this dearth in scholarship.

我的研究研究了1968 - 2018年之间的英国戏剧作品如何整合英语民间音乐（RE）构造，（重新）存在并执行英语身份和“英语”。我专注于以下主要问题：这些作品与社会经济，政治和文化时刻有关，每个生产都唤起了国家的综合时刻，并在其中创造了哪些贡献？这些作品对民族叙事做出了什么贡献，它们是如何制作的，这些文化记忆是什么？这些作品对这些生产的贡献是什么？ 1968年，英国民间音乐已融入了大量专业的英国戏剧作品中，从大型国家阶段的大型作品到小规模的农村旅游作品。现有的奖学金广泛调查了戏剧与国家，民族认同与民族主义之间的关系，该关系扩展到对苏格兰戏剧作品中苏格兰身份的特殊检查，这些苏格兰剧院的身份已融合并结合了苏格兰历史，语言和民间艺术，例如苏格兰·塞利德（Scottish Ceilidh）。另外，当代英国民间艺术最近被学院承认和讯问，作为建造英语身份的网站。但是，在过去的五十年中，出色的英国剧院作品集中，人们对英国民间音乐（和舞蹈）如何构建英语身份/IE和越来越难以捉摸的“英语”，这是显着的研究。我的研究将开始纠正这一奖学金的缺乏。
