CALL FOR WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCE PAPERS, PERFORMANCES AND PLAYS

FESTIVAL OF ORIGINAL THEATRE , FEBRUARY 10-13, 2005

 

The Annual Festival of Original Theatre, produced by The Graduate Centre for  Study of Drama at the University of Toronto explores the possibilities of theatre in theory and practice. FOOT 2005 is an entirely student-run event that investigates the theme "Bodies in Space" in a combination of short plays, conference papers, and workshops. We especially welcome submissions that might interlink performances, workshops and/or papers.  There will be a series of practical workshops offered over the course of the festival as well as a conference, in which theatre practitioners, students of the craft, and academic experts are afforded the opportunity to come together and to share their research.

 

** The plays-performances are to be 15-30 minutes in length. Please submit as comprehensive a description as possible (full script not required), by November 1, 2004.

 

** Conference papers are to be 20 minutes in length. Please submit a 200 word abstract by November 1, 2004.  As this is a festival that celebrates and interrogates the body, "papers" that are not delivered in the traditional manner (that is, those that might be labeled "performance papers") are also welcome but are subject to the same length restriction.

 

** Workshop proposals are not limited in length. Please submit as comprehensive a description as possible by November 1, 2004.
