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.
