<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">We invite potential participants to submit paper proposal abstracts of 250 words to be part of a curated panel showcasing applied theatre research in Canada. We are interested in descriptions
of practice that focus on opening up spaces for various community groups to enter into larger social, cultural, environmental and/or political conversations. We will consider papers that address one or more of the following questions, based on the 2019 conference
theme:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">How are circles of conversation made evident in applied theatre, in both theory and practice? What practical, pedagogical and theoretical tools, aesthetic preferences,
material conditions, and/or political landscapes assist or suppress engagement in these conversations?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">How does applied theatre invite, sustain, extend or foreclose, circles of conversation?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Who has been included in such conversations and who has been left out?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">We are particularly interested in papers that trouble and complicate the ethics of practice in applied theatre. Drawing on Claire Bishop’s important critical perspectives on socially engaged art
(in her book <i>Artificial Hells </i>[2012]), we ask: How we can avoid the risk of becoming “subject to manipulation—and eventually instrumentalization—[as] a harmless branch of the welfare state…the kindly folk who can be relied upon to mop up wherever the
government wishes to absolve itself of responsibility”? (Bishop, 2012b, p. 38). Are we the “kindly folk” or are we instead committed to a more radical praxis that may involve asking:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Where are the opportunities and spaces for applied theatre to express and enact ideas that may be idiosyncratic, controversial, uneasy, discomforting, frustrating,
fearful, contradictory, exhilarating or absurd? (Bishop, 2012, p. 26)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">What would applied theatre look and feel like if it had the qualities of rupture, ambiguity and dissensus rather than amelioration, over-solicitousness and consensus?
