CATR conference seminar CFP *NEW*

[Jenn Stephenson]

*NEW* CATR Conference Seminar sponsored by the Women’s Caucus

 

Abstracts are invited on the topic of  “In-between or Intermedial Theatre
Practices that address the performance of Sexualized Identities in Canada
Theatre today.” It uses intermediality in the broadest sense, as not
necessarily involving technology, but as being “about changes in theatre
practice and thus about changing perceptions of performance, which become
visible through the process of staging”  (Chapple and Kattenbelt ,
Intermediality in Theatre and Performance, 12).  Abstracts dealing with a
range of theatrical practices that create the in-between spaces where
spectators, performers, and various media intersect in ways which lead to
potential transformations of our conceptual frameworks regulating our
beliefs about sexual identity formation.  Abstracts could reference
performance artists, play scripts, stage productions that offer the
potential for this kind of analysis. They should speculate on what their
examples of intermedial performance bring to the discourse today and what
possibilities they open up for creating in-between spaces in the future of
Canadian theatre.  

 

Registration in the seminar will ideally be limited to 12 participants. The
seminar will meet as a working group in Montreal for a 3 hour session. 

Send abstracts of 200 words with a short bio to Rosalind.Kerr at ualberta.ca.
Deadline for submissions is February 20, 2010.
