<div class="MsoNormal">ALIVE AND KICKING (BACK): Queering New Media<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Queer playwright RM Vaughn creates video diaries that with
personal issues with short-form, often abstract pieces taking advantage of the
medium's potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Other queer
artists have incorporated video into their work, created interactive websites
that function as electronic performance spaces or embraced video as a source of
income or a means of keeping theatrical works alive beyond their initial
performances.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I am preparing a presentation on Vaughn's videos and would
like to place it within the context of an LGBT Focus Group panel on other queer
theatre artists using media in some way to enhance their artistic careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Ideally, the panel would consist of
artists and scholars representing a variety of different approaches to using
media and would feature clips representing the range of forms available to
queer artists in new media.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you
have done artistic work or research in this area and want to share it with
those attending ATHE 2010, please contact me at <a href="mailto:frnklin2001@yahoo.com">frnklin2001@yahoo.com</a> by October 20.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Times;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">I plan
on requesting a DVD player and monitor and a day pass for RM Vaughn, who has
agreed to attend the conference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Since there is a $500 limit per panel on grants, that leaves enough to
request one day pass and two session passes or five session passes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Please be clear in your request to
participate whether you will need a guest pass and what type of guest pass you
will need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I want to be able to
include as many artists as possible, so if I have between three and five
requests for session passes, I will give them priority on a first come
basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If there are two or fewer
requests for session passes, I will be happy to consider a day pass, again on a
first come basis.</span><!--EndFragment-->
