The 32nd iteration of the Festival of Original Theatre (FOOT32) at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies focuses on the theme of “Handle with Care”. This theme responds to a trend we have witnessed in academic and artistic spaces alike: that research and performance be practiced as acts of care for others and ourselves.
“Handle with Care” is being planned as an in-person conference. Please submit a proposal (250 words) and biography (100 words per participant) via our online form below by October 26, 2023.
FOOT has a long-standing tradition of facilitating presentations that experiment with and transgress the typical conventions of academic conferencing.
We welcome and encourage proposals that incorporate practice and/or performance as a means of bridging institutional divides between arts and academy. We cannot provide additional AV or theatre tech support past that which can be expected for a paper presentation. All submitted proposals will be considered for their aim, scope, and feasibility within FOOT32’s mandate
