*2007 Festival of Original Theatre:  Dissolving Borders*

Graduate Centre for Study of Drama,

University of Toronto.

February 15-18, 2007

 

We invite papers and artistic presentations that examine themes 
surrounding intercultural performance for the 2007 Festival Of Original 
Theatre:  Dissolving Borders.  This conference and performance based 
festival sets out to interrogate the concept of intercultural 
performance by creating a forum for discussion between theatre 
practitioners and the academic community while addressing the ever- 
expanding definition of culture and the question of what constitutes a 
cultural group in theatre.

 

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

 

_    Intercultural performance in Canada.

 

_    Defining Culture:  What constitutes a cultural group in theatre.

 

_    Case Studies on Intercultral theatrical process and the performance 
of difference.

 

_    Multi versus  (or in relation to) Inter culturalism- as well as 
issues of intra and trans culturalism.

 

_    The constructions and contestations of difference in theatre/ 
performance.

 

_    Borders/ liminal spaces in intercultural theatre.

 

_    Pedagogical/ practical strategies for considering cultural 
plurality and understanding diversity.

 

The Dissolving Borders conference and festival provides a forum for 
scholars and artists to engage in discussion through papers, 
performances, talk -backs and panels.  We encourage submissions from 
graduate students.

 

If you are interested in proposing a paper or presentation please send a 
200-250 word abstract by November 10, 2006
