My apologies, but the previous attachment re: the 1996 ACTR Conference Call
for Papers was screwed up (I didn't have it edited properly for mail). So
we'll try it again. Isn't technology grand!

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.
