30 years of Border Crossings—and Bruford online BA

Border Crossings , a UK-based theatre company that collaborates with artists from around the world, is celebrating its 30th anniversary, formed in 1995 by Artistic Director Michael Walling. BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Michael about the history, methodology and extensive catalogue of work of the company over three decades and what he views as the increasing urgency of bringing together people from different nationalities, cultures and backgrounds through theatre. David and Michael both teach on the online BA in Theatre Studies from UK drama school Rose Bruford College (David was in its first intake of students in 1996, and Michael one of his tutors), which is also celebrating its 30th anniversary. They talk about the innovative and transformative nature of the course, pay tribute to its late founder, Tony Hozier, and lament its recent cancellation.
