<p>The aim of this international, interdisciplinary conference is to encourage
cross-disciplinary discussion of materials and theoretical issues related
to theatre iconography, an important emerging sub-discipline of theatre
studies. The conference will examine a broad range of visual records related
to theatrical performance and paratheatrical spectacle, including paintings,
drawings, prints, photographs and film. Proposals are welcomed for papers
addressing such topics as pictorial representations of theatrical subjects,
their conventions, history, and problematics, across all periods and traditions
of theatre, from the earliest times to the present. It is expected that
presentations will include visual material.
<p>Proposals should include a title and a clear description of the complete
paper, of no more than 500 words. (Completed papers should be 3000 words
= 20 minutes as delivered). Please include a brief introduction, giving
the author's current university affiliation and status. Proposals from
graduate students are particularly encouraged.
<p>Proposals, by mail or email, should be sent to
