are invited from members of the Performance History Working
Group, which will
consider the challenges of performance history as it relates to
the ongoing
research of participants. This inaugural session of the Working
Group will
explore the relationship between the historian of performance
and documentary
evidence; but because this is an inaugural meeting, we will
focus on recent
concerns and significant challenges that participants have
experienced, as a
means to establish the larger on-going issues the Working Group
should explore.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial">The meeting
of this Working Group at CATR/ACRT 2018 in Kingston, Ontario is
part of a
larger pattern of activity, which includes: the regular
communication through
an online blog; the active mentorship of emerging scholars;
on-line meetings to
discuss readings and research questions; local and regional
meetings; and a
meeting a the annual CATR conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

membership in the group is confirmed, participants will be asked
to contribute
a statement of no more than 1,000 words (along with any related
materials),
which will be posted to a website in advance of the conference
for viewing by
participants and registrants. We will divide participants into
groups for
on-line discussion, assign respondents, and organize the
conference session as
a series of related research questions for discussion. Material
will not be
read during our time at the conference, but will act as pretexts
for
conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
