>             The 2017 Tri-University Colloquium for Theatre and Performance Research completes its first full cycle with this 3rd annual event. The first two cycles, hosted by the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, focused on Creating Legacies and [Co]Memoration respectively. This year’s colloquium, hosted by Simon Fraser University, seeks to build on these themes by looking at performance and theatre, as well as other creative practices, now and in the future.
> 
> We invite papers that engage with contemporary and historical performances that play or have played important roles in shaping how we think about the future today. These performances might include investigations into theatre, performance art, music, dance, cinema, sound, political activism, everyday life, and philosophy. Papers may address one of the following questions, or speak to the conference theme in another way:

> Submissions are currently being accepted from emerging graduate student researchers and those nearing the completion of their programs of study at UVic, SFU, and UBC, as well as all neighbouring institutions of the Pacific Northwest. We will also accept work from researchers who graduated from these institutions within the last two years. Research may be from across the fine arts, humanities, and social sciences. Both traditional and non-traditional formats are encouraged. We will accept proposals for either 20-minute presentations or 60-minute panel sessions. Submissions may be in the form of formal academic papers, informal presentations of research, manifestos, panel topics, staged readings, performances that integrate physical, visual, sound, digital material, or any other presentational format that responds to the theme of “Performances of the Future - Now.”
