to develop a student conference. To that end we plan to hold a 1/2 day
session on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =

Month="6" Day="16" Year="2007">June 16, 2007</st1:date> in <st1:City

<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Vancouver</st1:City></st1:place> in
2008. Our hope and expectation would be that students would come to
Magnetic North, see all the shows and come to the 1/2 day session to discuss and
reflect on this festival and theatre in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region

group of students to the festival who will do a reflection piece on the last day
as part of this session. If students from other institutions are
interested in becoming involved in this performance report please contact Sarah
