<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">fu-GEN Theatre Company, Canada’s premiere Asian Canadian Theatre Company, invites proposals for GENesis 2020, our second conference and festival on Asian Canadian theatre. Founded in 2002, fu-GEN is devoted
to providing a home for the Asian Canadian theatre artist, nurturing their voices, and producing works of the highest artistic caliber that explore the Asian Canadian experience. In 2010, we hosted the first ever conference on Asian Canadian theatre, bringing
together the two vital practices of performance and research.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">In November 2022, we will be hosting GENesis: Pocket Conference, a conference and festival with the theme: INNOVATION AND REINVENTION, a reflection of the last decade of Asian Canadian performance and research,
a critical look at our present moment focusing on the pandemic’s effect on digital performance and presentation, and a glimpse of what lies ahead.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 25px;font-size:0.938em;line-height:1.5em;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">This conference and festival will feature digital artistic presentations, paper presentations, panels, and round tables. It will take place in FIVE different cities across North America, Europe and Asia. Each
city will have a day of in-person activities which will be broadcast globally as podcasts the following day.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">GENesis welcomes proposals from theatre and performance scholars, critics, and creators, for inclusion in our 2022 Pocket Conference. We are looking for engagements with the broad spectrum of Asian-ness (including
but not limited to Pan-Asia Pacific, South Asia, Western Asia and the Middle East, and Pacific Islanders), and our relationship to the theatre and the theatrical. We welcome proposals that explore the wide range of contemporary practice/performance, intersectional
identities, and historical impact. More specifically, we are interested in how Asian performance artists are engaging with technology in new ways since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We invite papers that speak to the intersections of Asian performance
and virtual spaces, digital presentation, protest art, and/or shifting political landscapes. We hope to shape a complex tool-set for practitioners and researchers that extend the discussions begun at our 2010 conference, helping navigate the space we’re in
and guiding us forward</span></p>
