Multidisciplinary Panel Proposal for ATHE

[Megan Macdonald]

Dear CanDrama members,
    
   I am a PhD student at Queen Mary,  University of London.  I am putting together a multidisciplinary panel  proposal for the ATHE conference in July 2007.  The focus groups  involved are:
                          
  FOCUS GROUP 18 (TH): Theatre  History
FOCUS GROUP 14 (RT): Religion and Theatre
   FOCUS GROUP 13 (PS): Performance  Studies
    
      
  There  are currently two papers and we are looking for a third.  My research  is in Performance Studies (focus on ritual) and the other panelist is  an Assistant Professor of History at Brock University.  While  not focussing specifically on the example of New Orleans for the panel  the theme of regeneration is the impetus for questions such as - what  happens when ritual is disrupted, how do rituals help a  community/nation to deal with loss, do new rituals arise out of crisis  and what is the promise of ritual? A potential title for the panle is  "The Promise of Ritual." A more fitting title will beconfirmed when we  have a third proposal. 
  
      
  If you are  interested in joining the panel or can forward this on to anyone who  might be interested, please let me know.  The dealine for submissions  is Wednesday, November 1, 2006 so a quick reply would be appreciated!
  
      
  Thank you,
