BTN/ATHE RECIPROCAL CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

Register for one Conference and receive free registration for the other

Black Theatre Network (BTN) and the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) are holding their annual conferences in Los Angeles, California. To encourage collaboration among members of both organizations, conference participants are encouraged to take advantage of a special offer; register for one conference and receive free registration for the other.

Calls for Proposals

The I-Park Foundation, a not-for-profit international arts community sited within an expansive nature preserve in East Haddam, Connecticut, is seeking memory-themed proposals for its Thanatopolis Project, an alternative memorial park/space in the advanced conceptual phase of its development.  Drawing from the fields of Theater, Choreography and Performance Art, I-Park is looking for works that harmonize with the long-term goal of Thanatopolis, which is to re-imagine our cultural and personal relationship to death, memory and memorialization – and to engage the evocative power of performance, along with other creative disciplines, to bring into being a new sacred landscape/sound-space.
