The Teapot Prince Project Announcement

"Porcelain starts to dance, a prince gets turned into a teapot, and east-west commerce goes through the looking glass: Phil Chan and Meredith Martin re-imagine a little-known eighteenth-century French ballet for performance at Waddesdon Manor with its extraordinary collection of Chinese and European porcelain. We are delighted that the Oxford TORCH Humanities Cultural Programme, in partnership with the Rothschild Foundation and the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, has made it possible for us to host this ground-breaking show, along with a set of cross-disciplinary conversations about it. We imagine we'll be talking about porcelain-making and breaking, magic and technology, thingness, personhood and race, chinoiserie and choreography. Mia Jackson (Waddesdon Manor) and Kate Tunstall (University of Oxford)"
