Jill Dolan and Diana Taylor lectures_Performance Studies (Canada) Speaker Series

[Marlis Schweitzer]

Dear Candrama colleagues,

The Performance Studies (Canada) Speaker Series 
<http://performancecanada.com/events/performance-studies-canada-speaker-series-theme-moving-bodies/> 
returns this month, with two lectures by world-renowned scholars: Jill 
Dolan and Diana Taylor. If you're planning to be in the Toronto area 
this month, please consider attending one or both talks.

*Jill Dolan **(Princeton) *will give a talk entitled "Moving the Body 
Politic: How Feminism and Theatre Inspire Social Re-Imaginings" on 
*Wednesday, February 19 at 2:30 pm *in the North Ballroom at the 
Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen St. West). Her talk will explore how 
feminist criticism/ commentary can profitably influence the "body 
politic" and "move" people (emotionally) toward revised understandings 
of social relationship in the public sphere. The talk is presented with 
the support of the Walker Cultural Leader Series at the Marilyn I. 
Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts at Brock University.

*Diana Taylor (NYU) *will deliver a keynote address on *Friday, February 
28 at 10:00 am *as part of Panamerican Routes/ Rutas Americanas 
<http://www.alunatheatre.ca/panamerican-routes/routas-2014/>, an 
international festival on Performance and Human Rights in the Americas. 
The event will be held in Ada Slaight Hall at Daniels Spectrum. This 
talk is presented in collaboration with the University of Toronto's 
Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, and Brock 
University's Department of Dramatic Arts.
