<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Building on ATHE’s 2015 conference
theme and recognizing the rich historic, geographic, cultural, and national
characteristics of Quebec, ATDS invites papers, panels, roundtables, and
alternative-format sessions that explore memory and (re)membering in American
theatre and performance, past and present. Possible avenues of investigation
include:</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<ul>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">How is “America” differently
conceived by U.S. and Canadian playwrights and theatres? What communities
and cultures are erased or forgotten in those narratives of nation building,
e.g., re immigration, assimilation, and revolution?</font>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Quebec holds the histories of a
diverse population of indigenous peoples. How do the theatre and performance
histories/traditions/activism of these populations contribute to our understanding
of an American theatre tradition?</font>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">How do we, as theatre and performance
studies educators, scholars, and artists, negotiate the slippery borders
between memory, historical events, and performance on stage and in our
classrooms? </font>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Marvin Carlson has described the
theatre as a “memory machine,” a place haunted by the specter of prior
performance and practice. In what ways do performances of historical events
force participants and spectators to not only “recycle,” but also (re)invent
the past? </font>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">In what ways have national and
indigenous theatres in the Americas dealt with “memory,” broadly conceived?</font>
<li><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">The field of theatre and performance
studies is marked with borders that must be crossed, from graduate school,
to faculty appointments, to professional paths outside of the academy,
to academic and arts administration. Yet the paths that artists and scholars
tread are often overlooked, or forgotten. What are the road signs we miss?
How can we ensure that professional paths are illuminated for others?</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font></ul><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">While
ATDS encourages the submission of papers and panels addressing these questions,
colleagues are invited to submit proposals that deal with other engaging
topics in American theatre and drama, though preference will be given to
proposals that explore the ATHE 2015 themes. </font>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">In addition to the traditional format
of panels and papers, ATDS welcomes proposals for interactive, site specific,
or other alternative-format presentations. Presenters submitting proposals
outside of the traditional panel format are asked to be very specific in
their proposals concerning the structure and number of participants so
that ATHE can be advised about space/time needs. Preference will be given
to ATDS members. To learn more about membership benefits, please visit
the ATDS website: </font><a href=http://www.atds.org/><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>www.atds.org</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">.</font>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><b><u>Additional Proposal Submission
Information</u></b></font>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Individual paper proposals may be
submitted to ATDS Conference Planner, Jocelyn L. Buckner (</font><a href=mailto:jocelynbuckner@gmail.com><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>jocelynbuckner@gmail.com</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">),
who will work group submissions into cohesive panels, but cannot guarantee
inclusion. Individual proposals must be submitted to Jocelyn L. Buckner
by OCTOBER 17, 2014. Abstracts (250 words) must include paper title and
contact information, and must specify any AV needs. ATHE does not accept
individual paper submissions, so DO NOT submit your individual proposal
on the ATHE website. Individuals wishing to identify colleagues to create
panels prior to the November 1st deadline should use the ATDS listserv:
</font><a href=mailto:ATDS@LISTSERV.COFC.EDU><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman">ATDS@LISTSERV.COFC.EDU</font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
or the new ATDS focus group page on the ATHE website: </font><a href=http://www.athe.org/group/ATDS><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>www.athe.org/group/ATDS</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
to circulate questions or possible panel topics. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Completed proposals (with all panel
members assembled) must be submitted directly to ATHE (</font><a href=http://www.athe.org/><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>www.athe.org</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">)
by NOVEMBER 1, 2014. Please forward a copy of your completed proposal to
Jocelyn L. Buckner (</font><a href=mailto:jocelynbuckner@gmail.com><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>jocelynbuckner@gmail.com</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">).
Proposals should include all requests for audiovisual needs, conference
grants, or guest passes. As a reminder, ATHE permits two presentations
per participant at the conference.</font>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">Multi-focus session proposals must
be sponsored by a minimum two (2) ATHE Focus Groups and/or Committees.
It is your responsibility to contact each Focus Group Conference Planner
or Committee Chair prior to the submission deadline to gain approval of
all sponsoring Focus Groups and/or Committees. Contact information can
