Detailed
Schedule
As we reflect on 2005,
on the terrible displacements suffered in the Gulf Coast, Middle East,
Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia, we are reminded that change
overflows place as well as time, dissolving lives as well as the organizations,
identities and affiliations that once held them together. The 26th
Annual Women and Theatre Program Conference will focus on active feminist
responses to geopolitical realities that shape our artistic and academic
work. In addition to two exciting
days of panels, workshops, presentations and performances, our keynote
is Chicago’s critically acclaimed performance collective Teatro
Luna. Thanks to a generous grant by ATHE, we are pleased
to announce a collaboration between Performance Studies, LGBT, and
WTP for a special evening with Karen Finley. Columbia College is a ten
minute walk from the Palmer House Hilton.
