<p><strong>Call for Papers, Performances and Artistic Works</strong></p>
<p><strong>Festival of Original Theatre (FOOT)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Queer(ing) Performance</strong></p>
<p><strong><span>February 5-7, 2015</span></strong></p>
<p>The 23<sup>rd</sup> annual Festival of Original Theatre (FOOT) invites proposals to our 2015 conference: <em>Queer(ing) Performance</em>.
Considering the performance of everyday life, as well as the staged,
digital, and imagined, FOOT 2015 subverts rigid disciplinary boundaries
between scholarship, practice and politics. This year’s conference not
only welcomes papers on queer productions, but also work that engages
queers methodologies. We invite proposals from activists, academics and
artists who question, contest and revolt against scholarly and
theatrical norms.</p>
<p>Acknowledging the ways in which queer theory, alongside many
traditional theatre approaches, has privileged white able-bodied,
cisgender male subjects, FOOT 2015: Queer(ing) Performance opens up the
conversation to consider the multiple intersecting experiences and
practices of a range of marginalized populations. FOOT 2015 questions
broad applications of queer methodologies to performance through diverse
conversations on postcolonialism, crip studies, critical race theory
and feminisms.</p>
<p>FOOT 2015 invites proposals for presentations of papers, workshops,
readings and performances from scholars, activist and artists in the
following areas:</p>
<ul><li>Queer(ing) normative LGBT Theatre and Performance</li><li> Queering conceptions of spatiality & temporality in performance</li><li>Confronting Scriptocentrism: Oral history, storytelling and spoken word performance</li>
<li>Activism, social justice, and grass-roots performance</li><li>Queer indigenous studies and performance</li><li>Trans politics and identities onstage and/or in everyday life</li><li> Regulation and Policing of Nonnormative performance</li>
<li>Manifestations of a turn towards the wild on stage</li><li>Drag, Burlesque and Cabaret</li><li> Queering Nostalgia, Memory and Theatre History</li><li> Performing Queer/Feminist ideologies in everyday life</li></ul>
<p>Recognizing the inextricable link between performance scholarship and
artistic creation, FOOT 2015 provides an outlet for diverse voices to
contribute to discussions on performance studies and theatre creation
from a queer standpoint. As queer(ing) theatre necessitates an open and
flexible understanding of the field of performance, we welcome
nontraditional proposals and formats for papers, film screenings and
performances.</p>
