International Theatre Conference
Directing and Authorship in Western Drama
October 23-25, 2003
Acadia University
This conference will bring together scholars and practitioners
from various parts of the world to explore the subject of directing
and authorship in Western drama. The conference will address the
aesthetic, intellectual, theoretical and legal implications of directing
in relation to the author and the literary text, asking:
• What is the obligation of the director to the author of
the play?
• Is the director an interpreter, a co-author or a creator?
• To what extent is the meaning of a play encoded in the literary
text?
• By what process does the director ascertain the intentions
of the writer?
• What is the relationship between dramatic intent and directorial
concept?
• By what criteria is the director’s contribution in
a production assessed?
• Who are author and proprietor of a theatrical performance?
These and other related questions will be addressed by considering
a range of provocative views in the form of research papers, panel
discussions and practitioner forums. Since this subject crosses
disciplines and boundaries, the conference will provide opportunities
for both formal and informal dialogue among academics and professionals
from theatre and related fields.
Individual critical submissions should include a titled abstract,
complete contact information and institutional affiliation of the
participant, and a short biographical note (as it will appear in
the program). Panel proposals should include a session title, the
name of the contact person for the session, contact information
and biography of each presenter in the session, and abstracts of
each paper or presentation. Submissions by graduate students are
welcome.
Direct Inquiries and proposals
should be sent to:
