<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Dear
Colleagues,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><EM>Studies in Theatre and
Performance</EM> is very interested in articles from Canadian theatre scholars
on both Canadian and non-Canadian topics. The journal, as its title
indicates, is concerned with studies of theatre and performance (and
not normally studies in / of dramatic literature).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The journal is the official
publication of the Standing Conference of University Drama Departments (SCUDD)
in the U.K. and incorporates <EM>Studies in Theatre Production</EM>. The editors
are Peter Thomson and Lesley Wade, both of the University of
Exeter.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Several projects by Canadian
scholars, intended for <EM>STP</EM>, are at various stages of development.
Daniel Mroz, moreover, at the University of Ottawa, has a review of Yana
Meerzon's <EM>The Path of a Character: Michael Chekhov's Inspired Acting and
Theatre Semiotics </EM>(Peter Lang, 2005) coming out in 26.2 (2006). Erin
Hurley (McGill) published a review of Alan Filewod's <EM>Performing Canada: The
Nation Enacted in the Imagined Theatre </EM>(2002) in 22.2 (2002):
127-28.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The current issue, 26.1 (2006)
contains a wide array of articles: "Editorial Introduction: Alternatives within
the mainstream: British Black and Asian theatre" (Dimple Godiwala);
"Writing black back: an overview of black theatre and performance in
Britain" (Deirdre Osborne); "Genealogies, archaeologies, histories: the
revolutionary 'interculturalism' of Asian Theatre in Britain" (Dimple Godiwala);
"'Black and female is some of who I am and I want to explore it': black women's

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I will be bringing fliers about
<EM>STP</EM> to the ACTR conference at York. The flier provides
information about how to make submissions and a subscription form. The
journal is available both in print and as an e-journal. I shall also
bring complimentary copies of the penultimate issue, 25.3 (2005). It is a
special issue, co-edited by Jane Bacon and Franc Chamberlain, on the practice of
performance studies in the U.K. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

articles and book reviews with me before, during, or after the conference,
please do not hesitate to do so.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
