About ICASP | Improvisation, Community and Social Practice. Dr. Ajay Heble, University of Guelph Project Director This research project plays a leading role in defining a new field of interdisciplinary inquiry. It brings together a dynamic international research team with a demonstrated track record in grant management and student training, and it fosters innovative partnerships with community-based organizations. The project’s core hypothesis is that musical improvisation is a crucial model for political, cultural, and ethical dialogue and action.
Indeed, scholars in the humanities and social sciences have much to learn from performance practices that accent dialogue, collaboration, inventive flexibility, and creative risk-taking; from art forms that disrupt orthodox standards of coherence, judgment, and value with a spirit of experimentation and innovation. Our broadly-based team of researchers and community partners is particularly well-positioned to take on this work. University Bulletin | School of Drama 2013–2014 | Fellowships and Scholarships.

This international research project for doctoral candidates aims to examine and practice varieties and methods of interdisciplinary work by graduate students of theatre studies and other subjects. The project is divided into two major phases: a workshop taking place from July 19th to 20th, 2014 and a conference that will be held on September 28th, 2014. Furthermore, the project will cooperate with the Twelfth Congress of the ‘Gesellschaft für Theaterwissenschaft’ on the topic Episteme des Theaters (Ruhr-Universität Bochum, September 25th – 28th, 2014).
This will allow participants to present their work to an international and specialised audience. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the RUB Research School, accommodation and travel expenses can be refunded. The field of theatre studies has long since been aware that the research done within the scope of its subject matter finds correspondence in several other academic disciplines. I. II. III. IV.

Modern Horizons CFP – Translation and Transcendence For the June 2014 issue of Modern Horizons we invite essays, in English or French, on the theme of ‘Translation and Transcendence / La traduction et la transcendance’. Translation is prevalent in many aspects of life, whether one works between languages or across cultural divides. While recognizing that translation is often thought of as communication between languages, we wish to expand on this concept with the aim of addressing issues of identity, tradition, relationships, responsibility, and forms of culture.
If translation happens each time something different, new, or unexpected is confronted or experienced, then it is basic to almost any register of human life. This issue will examine these ideas by considering translation alongside transcendence. Thinking translation and transcendence together is a neat idea. One may think of translation in terms of appropriation and completion.
Deadline for submissions is 1 MARCH, 2014. Calls for Papers - American Society For Theatre Research (ASTR) Call for Chapter ProposalsThe Routledge Companion to Jacques LecoqEditors: Mark Evans (Coventry University, UK) and Rick Kemp (Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA) This book, currently under consideration by Routledge, is proposed with the support and involvement of the École internationale de théâtre Jacques Lecoq.
It will be the first major attempt to provide a comprehensive guide to Jacques Lecoq's work in at least ten years. Lecoq is one of the most influential international theatre pedagogues of the last fifty years, and yet remarkably little has been written about his work. In line with the general format of Routledge Companion volumes, this new book will contain multiple chapters written by different authors about various aspects of Lecoq’s life, teaching, and legacy. The book is intended to be a comprehensive and authoritative survey of Lecoq’s work. The structure of the book will be as follows. · Conclusion (Editors) Chapters should be 3,500 – 4,000 words long.
