The Graduate Centre for Study of Drama invites you to join us at the 
19^th annual */Festival of Original Theatr/e*.  */FOOT 2011/* intends to 
explore the implications of contemporary trends within the field of 
Post-Colonial performance studies as they relate to contentious issues 
within various cultural/multi-racial communities.  This conference will 
examine an integrative approach to the intersection of theoretical and 
practical research through discussions surrounding the use of dramatic 
language, the arrangement of theatrical space and time, and the 
manipulation of narrative and performative conventions of drama.

Our Keynote, *Dr. Nandi Bhatia*, is associate professor of English at 
the University of Western Ontario, and author of /Acts of Authority/Acts 
of Resistance: Theatre and Politics in Colonial and Post-Colonial 
India/, /Modern Indian Theatre/, and /Performing Women: Theatre, 
Politics and Dissent in North India/ (Oxford University Press).  Bhatia 
was the 1999 recipient of The John Polanyi Prize for Literature, and her 
extensive research on the links between colonial and post-colonial film, 
theatre and literature has been published in such journals as /Theatre 
Journal, Modern Drama, /and /Feminist Review.  /

The 2011 festival will feature a mix of papers as well as staged 
readings and/or performances of works by *Valerie Mason-John*, 
*Donna-Michelle St. Bernard*, *Yvette Nolan* and *Rahul Varma*, as well 
as a screening of the film /Being Dalit /directed by *Alberto Guevera*.
