b'Editorial NoteWe write this on a week which we had all hoped might be the last week of restrictions. As another delay is announced and cases are on the rise in schools, the summer feels one of exhaustion and trepidation. In this context, the students achievements this year are all the more impressive, and the work voluntarily undertaken to produce a journal at short notice is testament to their commitment and energy.In these essays, dissertation extracts and creative pieces we can hear the voices of a generation who, whatever their personal circumstances, are responsive to wider and urgent social concerns. Questions of representation are particularly apparent in this issue. How do authors use form and narrative to represent the marginalised experiences of global majority characters? How does the actors body tell its own story in relation to the story depicted through character? An intersectional approach prompts nuanced responsestotheatrethatconcernsclimatechange,feminismandcolonialism.An understanding of theatre history also informs these discussions in considering womens writing for the theatre, and productions that interpret older plays, such as Millers The Crucible. The use of dialect, laughter and the technical demands of puppetry are also considered in this issue.The creative writing shares some of the same concerns, with two very different pieces considering womens bodies, one in a defiant spoken word poem of resistance; the other evoking the mundane experience of period pain. Theres also an eerie story about an explosion in the Orkneys and an imagined scenario with multiple Edith Piafs. Speaking perhaps the most directly about the pandemic itself, Freddie Venturis monologue for a 15-year-old who has found a kind of freedom in lockdown is a poignant reminder of the pressure we put on young people.In producing the T3 Journal, we aim to celebrate our students writing as much as their making, because writing is also making. And this issue particularly celebrates their self-questioning and their sense of the importance of theatre and the stories we tell. A big thank you to all the authors and the editors, with hopes for the coming year, and appreciation of all your generous enquiry.Katie Beswick and Cathy TurnerStudent Editors:Odette Abbasi, Roxanne Davies, Pauline Eller, Sofia Giles, Millie Jewry, Orla Mackinnon, Zoe Man, Morwenna Stevens, Sophia TrewickT3 Journal 2020-21 was funded with an award from the Exeter Alumni Annual Fund, and by Exeter University Drama Department3'
