---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 26 Oct 1995 00:04:00 EDT From: Alan E. Knight <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PERFORM <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Call for Papers I just received a note from Lynette Muir in Leeds, England, who asked me to place a call for papers on PERFORM. On June 16-21, 1996, in Tel Aviv, Israel, there will be an international conference on "Theatre and Holy Scriptures: Ritual and Mythological Dimensions of the Theatre". The conference will deal with theatre from all historical periods, but clearly medieval theatre is a "natural" for the announced topic. Papers of about 20 minutes in length are solicited on numerous sub-topics, among which are: Sacrificial patterns in the theatre; Liturgical rites and theatre; The divine on stage; The scriptures as theatrical text and pre-text; and Religious theatre and the audience. Abstracts may be submitted either to the general conference or to one of the already established sessions. To submit abstracts or to request further information about the conference, please write to: IFTR/FIRT Conference: Tel Aviv 1996 Tel Aviv University Department of Theatre Studies Faculty of the Arts Tel Aviv, Israel 69978 Fax: (972) 3 6409482
