Yana Meerzon (UOttawa, Canada), Steve E. Wilmer (Trinity College, Dublin), and Sheetala Bhat (York University, Canada) would like to invite you to join the creation of a new IFTR working group on Performance and Migration. The group has been meeting online
during the 2023-2024 academic year and has been accepted for a three-year partnership with CATR (Canadian Association for Theatre Research). During the IFTR 2024 conference in Manila, the group will hold its first “business meeting” to collect expressions of
interest and signatures from the IFTR members, who will want to become the core members of the group.</div>
