By now, all current members of the ACTR/ARTC should have received the Fall
1995 edition of the Newsletter/Bulletin. Those who haven't, please contact
me. I am including the "Call for Papers" for the 1996 Conference as a
separate attachment to this note.
 
*Also*--
 
The Newsletter Web Page
(http://edziza.arts.ubc.ca/theatre/actr/newslet.html) has (finally) been
updated. No fancy graphics, folks--just the news that fits.
 
Any and all comments are, of course, welcome.

ACTR Annual Conference
 
The annual conference for 1996 will be held May 25-28 at Brock University as part of the Learned Societies Conference. While proposals on any topic of interest to the Association are being sought, we invite members to
consider these two themes:
 
     1. Structures and Interventions. This theme aims to facilitate discussion of structures: of academic and theatre funding, administration and organization; of publishing; of dramatic and performance conventions;   of theory and history; of theatre reviewing; of pedagogy and professional development, etc. The "intervention" part of the title is intended to provoke members not simply to identify and read structures but further to propose how to intervene in and change them, and to examine theatre history in Canada as a narrative of structures and interventions.
 
     2. Crossing Borders. Inspired by the proximity of Brock University to the American border, we invite proposals which consider the crossing of national, linguistic, thematic, and theoretical borders and boundaries, encouraging interdisciplinary discussion. Please note that proposals on non-Canadian and non-Quebecois issues may be considered if they serve the mandate of the association.
 
Proposals for traditional papers, performance papers, panels, lecture-demonstrations, workshops, etc., in the form of a 300-word abstract, in either English or French, should be sent in five (5) copies no later than November 15, 1995, to the address below.
 
You will be notified by February 15, 1996, as to whether your paper has been accepted. If your paper is accepted, you must send a copy of your abstract (in both English and French if possible) to the editors of the Newsletter before March 1, 1996, for publication in the Spring issue.
