CALL FOR PAPERS sponsored by
AMERICAN THEATRE AND DRAMA SOCIETY
Selected panels and papers to be presented at
ASSOCIATION FOR THEATRE IN HIGHER EDUCATION (ATHE) CONFERENCE: SAN DIEGO,
25-28 JULY 2002
"A LEAP OF ImagiNATION: TEACHING, STAGING, AND RESEARCHING AMERICA IN THE
21st CENTURY"
American Theatre and Drama Society is soliciting complete panels or
individual papers on the teaching, researching, and (re-)staging of American
drama, theory, and performance. How are you practicing American
theatre--whether in classrooms, theaters, or scholarship--as we begin this
new century? Who comprises your audience? How are the U.S. and
international communities of American theatre practitioners and scholars
changing? What is the current place of American theatre professionals in
world theatre? What is their impact-or lack of-on your own work? How does
your work engage contemporary theory, practice, and/or pedagogy--and how do
you define that engagement?
The focus of next year's ATHE conference is "re-imagination" of the
profession. Apply this term broadly and share with us the evolution of your
work. As always, ATDS strongly encourages discussion of theatre of the
United States and of the Americas in general. We urge you to think about how
your work might intersect with that of other ATHE Focus Groups: e.g., Black
Theatre, Asian Theatre, Lesbian/Gay Theatre, Theatre History, Musical
Theatre, Theory & Criticism. Please also feel free to consider ways in which
older theatrical forms and texts influence current practice, or how they
re-imagined forms, texts, and practice for their times.
You may submit individual papers or completed panels (on ATHE Session
Proposal Forms, available in September both on the ATHE Website
(http://www2.hawaii.edu/athe/) and in the Fall ATHE NEWSLETTER). Anyone is
welcome to submit work to this Call, and we invite all participants to
consider joining American Theatre and Drama Society. For information, please
contact ATDS Membership Secretary Beth Cleary at cleary@macalester.edu.
