Jeffrey M. Leichman

Co-porteur américain du projet Virtual Theatres in the French Atlantic World.

Jeffrey M. Leichman is Associate Professor in the Department of French studies, and a recognized authority on performance culture in the eighteenth-century Francophone world, including the early modern French Atlantic colonies. Dr. Lechman is also Principal investigator for the VESPACE (Virtual Early modern Spectacles and Publics, Active and Collaborative Environment) project, an international collaboration that brings together scholars in theatre history, architecture, computer modeling, and game design to create VR models of the now-lost theatres housed at the eighteenth-century Paris Fairs. Dr. Leichman is the originator of the design principle of “image depth” which seeks to grant access to research data from within computer-generated environments, in order to equip end-users with a critical perspective on VR simulations that might otherwise conflate scholarly hypothesis with historical fact.

Pauline Beaucé

Co-porteuse française du projet Virtual Theatres in the French Atlantic World.

Pauline Beaucé has been Maître de Conférences in the Département d’Art at the Université de Bordeaux-Montaigne since 2015. She is the head of the Theatre Division. She is a specialist in History of Theatre and Performing Arts in the Early Modern Period, especially in France. After a PhD and a postdoctoral year at the Freie Universität in Berlin, Germany on the topic of parody and pastoral, Dr. Beaucé reoriented her research agenda to encompass the material history of theatre. Dr. Beaucé is co-investigator of The LAB 18-21 Project (Theatres and Performing Arts Places in Bordeaux 18th-21st centuries : reality and virtuality of urban leisure spaces) with the architect and Professor Sandrine Dubouilh. Through the intertwining expertise of both architecture and performing arts history, The LaB 18-21 Project explores what theatre studies largely disregards: the material, social, and utopic dimensions of performance spaces in the city. Under the aegis of this project, Dr. Beaucé has already organized two workshops, and co-edited volume on Les Espaces du spectacle vivant dans la ville (XVIIIe-XXIe s.).
