Announcement about the HowlRound Theatre Map

Dear Theatre Without Borders network members,

I have some great news to share! Now you can “put yourself on the map” on the Theatre Without Borders Map and on the HowlRound World Theatre Map!

 

HowlRound is an online “knowledge commons by and for the entire theatre community”, a place where you can join a range of conversations by and about theatre makers, like yourself. Theatre Without Borders is thrilled to link up with HowlRound to support connections between artists nationally and globally.

 

The HowlRound Map is an ever-growing, user-generated directory for theatre artists of all kinds from all over the world.  Similar to our own Theatre Without Borders Map, the HowlRound Map’s purpose is to make artists more available to each other.  On the World Theatre Map, you can see what theatre is happening around the globe on any given day, you can search for artists using a variety of categories and tools, and you can add your own events and resources.  Like Wikipedia, anyone can add information and edit the Map. Currently, the project is in English, Spanish, and soon to be in French. As you will see, The Map already features thousands of people, organizations, and performances around the world.

 

To start, create a profile for yourself and your affiliate organizations. This way anyone searching the Map can easily connect with you and attend your events. When you create your profile, be sure to include Theatre Without Borders as an Affiliation.

 

HowlRound also welcomes you to author blog posts and articles for their commons.  To find more information about that, please visit http://howlround.com/participate, or get in touch with me directly.

 

Meanwhile, our Theatre Without Borders Map is still alive and well!  With its focus on grassroots artist-to-artist connection on the themes of social engagement, peacebuilding, and empowerment, the Theatre Without Borders Map will continue to help you make connections artist-to-artist and people-to-people.  HowlRound’s Map offers you a way to post your profile and inform a larger community about what you are doing.

 

As a Theatre Without Borders Next-Gen Member and a HowlRound World Theatre Map Ambassador, I am working to expand the categories on the Map to be as inclusive and useful as possible.  Any questions or comments are very much appreciated and can be posted in the Map’s forum or sent to me directly.

 

I look forward to seeing you on the Map!

CALL for PARTICIPANTS in Rediscoveries in One Act: New Approaches to Teatro Breve from the Spanish Golden Age

Join an interdisciplinary team exploring the Siglo de Oro’s instructive teatro breveone-act plays with potent clues for building better ways to teach, stage, and research the richest script library known to history.

Teatro breve from the Spanish Golden Age (c. 1580-1680) includes satires and saint’s plays, star vehicles and character studies, musicals and thrillers, current-events commentaries and gripping meditations on metatheater, written by big-name playwrights – the cream of Spanish stagecraft, compressed for effective study.

In this working session, you’ll get up close and personal with selected entremeses (comic plays presented between the acts of a comedia), autos sacramentales (multilevel meditations staged for public celebrations of Corpus Christi), and their dramatic ancestors, while making significant contributions toward understanding them.

You’ll develop practical applications for incorporating teatro breve into your current work, you’ll pay particular attention to music and movement as tools for building meaning into performances, and you’ll actively engage in assessing, creating, and premiering performance-friendly translations of historically important, theatrically powerful one-acts.

You’ll join one of three teams:  Team Entremés, Team Auto Sacramental, or Team Translation.  Guided by session leaders (see list below) who bring you seasoned experience in a wide range of modern language and theater researches, you’ll collaborate with team members (dramaturgs, practitioners, teachers, and translators from all sorts of backgrounds) to:

Ø    read three one-act plays from the Spanish Golden age, post initial responses on the session’s wiki, and help your team select one play for detailed study (June-July);

Ø    thoughtfully consider context and criticism materials posted by team leaders (July-August);

Ø    compare translations/editions of plays selected for close study, and pose questions about them from performance, pedagogy, or critical perspectives (August-September);

Ø    write a brief position paper or a draft translation in response to questions posed, post this paper/translation on the wiki, and respond to team members’ postings (September-October);

Ø    synthesize discussion points/translation results into a presentation designed actively to involve others at the conference (October-November), and

Ø    present/perform highlights from your research, hear other teams’ reports, and participate in moderated discussion during ATHE’s conference in Dallas (November 7-10).

To bid for a role in this groundbreaking journey through little-studied territory, write us a short statement (350 words) about the skills, interests, and/or experiences that attract you to our exploration of teatro breve.  Please include a brief bio (50 words).  Send your statement and bio as MS Word attachments to teatrobreve2013@yahoo.com by June 3.

We hope to hear from you.  We assure you that complete newcomers to the field will be warmly welcomed.

Guest Lecture

Symbols of Resistance: 
The Legacy of Artists Under Pinochet

 

Joanne Pottlitzer 

 

Joanne Pottlitzer, a two-time Obie Award recipient, is a freelance playwright and theatre director who has produced many Latin American plays in New York. In 1966 she founded TOLA (Theatre of Latin America, Inc.), a New York-based nonprofit organization that pioneered artistic exchange between the U.S. and Latin America. Her translations of plays by Mario Vargas Llosa, Marco Antonio de la Parra, Griselda Gámbaro and José Triana have been produced in New York and around the country, and she has taught courses on Latin American theatre at Yale School of Drama, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and Hunter College, among others. Ms. Pottlitzer is the recipient of two senior Fulbright awards to Chile. Her lecture is based on her forthcoming book, Symbols of Resistance: The Legacy of Artists under Pinochet, about the influence of artists on the political process. In her talk, Pottlitzer capsulizes memories of theatre and music artists and members of the avanzada visual arts movement during 17 years of dictatorship in Chile, 1973-1990, and their strategies to create change.

The Latino International Theater Festival of New York is awarded a $150,000 grant from the
Robert Sterling Clark Foundation to establish an
International Cultural Engagement Partnership with
SESC-São Paulo that will provide performance opportunities in Brazil for U.S. artists
 

Program launches on June 13, 2011 with Conference in New York
 
 
New York, NY, June 8, 2011 –  The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation has awarded the Latino International Theater Festival of New York, Inc. (LITF/NY) a grant of $150,000 to enable Theater, Dance and Music performers featured at TeatroStageFest 2011 (June 4-18) to participate in the inaugural International Cultural Engagement Partnership (ICEP) between LITF/NY and "Social Services of Commerce", known as SESC, Brazil's national private network of over 300 cultural and artistic centers, the largest in Latin America. SESC also runs a cable TV channel, recording label and a publishing company. Major funding from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and SESC-São Paulo, will allow ICEP traveling companies – José Limón Dance Company, La Criatura Theater Company and Bobby Sanabria and Quarteto Aché – to present in late summer a total of 18 performances, master classes and TalkBacks with local audiences and artists at 6 SESC venues in the city and state of São Paulo.
 

This marks a turning point for LITF/NY which also announces the 5th Anniversary edition of TeatroStageFest, taking place from June 4-18, 2011 throughout the City of New York. For the past five years, the festival has been the region's main window to visiting stage productions from Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain featured side-by-side with local artists. Since 2007, TeatroStageFesthas showcased 582 local and international artists in 80 productions, partnered with 43 presenting organizations, and sponsored dozens of free workshops and panel discussions, among other events. In a first time reciprocal move, the inaugural LITF/NY – SESC-São Paulo International Cultural Engagement Partnership will be creating performance opportunities abroad for New York Latino artists.
 

"The Latino International Theater Festival of New York's alliance with SESC is a milestone that will enable our festival to expand its reach to Latin America. We are thrilled to introduce to São Paulo's diverse audiences this outstanding performance series by New York-Latino artists that captures the essence of the TeatroStageFest experience," said Susana Tubert, Executive Director of TeatroStageFest and LITF/NY's Co-Founder.
 

A comprehensive research report titled Promoting Public and Private Reinvestment in Cultural-Exchange-Based Diplomacy created by Margaret C. Ayers, President of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, points to the fact that the United States can no longer afford to ignore the value that artistic and cultural engagement programs bring to foreign policy initiatives. The commitment of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation in promoting regional and global investment in international arts engagement is a key aspect of the LITF/NY- SESC-SP alliance. "The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation considers it vital to develop sustainable relationships such as the International Cultural Engagement Partnership (ICEP) that will inspire new models of cooperation between artists and presenting organizations in the United States and Latin America," expressed Margaret C. Ayers, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation.
 

When asked about the importance of the ICEP Partnership, Danilo Santos de Miranda, Regional Director of SESC cultural centers in São Paulo, said: "SESC-SP and TeatroStageFest will be spearheading a pivotal exchange of ideas on how U.S. and Brazilian institutions fund the presentation of culture to their respective audiences. This program marks the start of a strategic collaboration both onstage and behind the scenes that will enrich both of our institutions."
 

To celebrate the start of ICEP, TeatroStageFest is presenting a free round table discussion on June 13, 2011 at 6:30pm, hosted by the Americas Society, that will bring together Danilo Santos de Miranda, Regional Director of SESC-São Paulo, Margaret Ayers, President of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, and Larry Rohter, culture reporter for The New York Times and author of Brazil on the Rise. The discussion will provide an overview of SESC's notable arts funding model and the Foundation's vision of new funding mechanisms that will allow U.S. artists to perform overseas, and engage in long lasting collaborations. Susan Segal, CEO of the Council of the Americas and Susana Tubert, Executive Director and Co-Founder of LITF/NY will introduce the panelists and ICEP Program, respectively. The event has additional support from the Consulate General of Brazil in New York and The Americas Society.
 

TeatroStageFest encourages audiences to RSVP by visiting www.teatrostagefest.org or emailing their reservations for the Conference by email to: reservations@teatrostagefest.org Also, to follow the latest updates on the ICEP, visit the TeatroStageFest pages on Facebook and Twitter.

About SESC
 

The Social Services of Commerce (SESC) model has been successfully incentivizing and democratizing access to a thriving arts and culture movement in Brazil since 1946. Funding for SESC is made possible through a tax law that mandates that every business contribute 1.5% of its total payroll into a SESC fund, which, in 2010, totaled nearly US$599 million. SESC provides free to subsidized tickets to artistic and cultural events, sports, education and social services nationwide. Under the direction of Danilo Santos de Miranda, SESC-Sao Paulo continues to play a leading role in Brazil by serving millions of citizens annually through its comprehensive scope of activities. – www.sescsp.org.br
 

About the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation
 

The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation currently supports nonprofit organizations conducting work in three program areas: Protecting Reproductive Rights, Improving the Performance of Public Institutions in New York, and a new initiative-Promoting International Arts Engagement. The objective of the arts initiative is to help develop global understanding in communities throughout the world that have limited contact with American culture, and to introduce American audiences to cultures that rarely are represented in the U.S. The initial plans are to support international engagement between U.S. visual and performing arts organizations and their counterparts in Latin America, Africa, and parts of the Middle East. – www.rsclark.org

Call for participation – e-misférica 8.1 – Manifestations

e-misférica invites scholarly essays, artist/activist presentations,
and reviews for its Summer 2011 issue entitled Manifestations. This
issue seeks to explore the practice and poetics of performance art in
Latin America. Under the rubric of “Manifestations” it will examine
the different institutional, aesthetic, and political genealogies of
Latin American performance art, which has been defined as "arte
acción," “arte no-objetual,” or “body art,” among other terms.  The
verb “to manifest” combines the many connotations of performance as
social practice: to reveal, to materialize, to make known to the
senses, and also—especially in Spanish—to protest and demonstrate.
This volume seeks to illuminate the dynamic “manifestations” of Latin
American performance art, asking how such work articulates the
different registers of aesthetic and political performance. What are
the referential fields—aesthetic, social, political—that performance
art has engaged and created? What different publics has performance
art conjured? How are these publics and these artistic practices
related to the interpellations of institutions (museums, publications,
schools), political projects, or the broader formations of nation and
state? What are the aesthetic geographies suggested by the
circulation, citations, and dialogues between performance art
practices? Is there a “Latin American” performance art, or an
aesthetic or political necessity for one?

e-misférica is the biannual, peer-reviewed, online journal of the
Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, and is edited by
Jill Lane and Marcial Godoy-Anativia. Each issue is organized around a
theme that explores the relationship between performance and
politics in the Americas. The journal publishes scholarly essays and
multimedia presentations by artists, activists, and intellectuals, as
well as reviews of books, performances, and films.

All essays are peer reviewed, and should be 5000-7000 words. Reviews
are 800 words (up to 1500 for pieces covering more than one book,
performance, or film). Please submit completed essays by May 30, 2011.
To submit multimedia presentations and reviews, please contact the
editors with proposals by April 30, 2011. All final texts will be due
May 30, 2011. Proposals should include a brief description of the work
and the author's approach to it (150 words); a short author bio (100
words); and a link to a previously published writing sample, or an
unpublished writing sample as an attachment. Please see below for a
list of books open for review; we welcome additional suggestions. All
contributions, proposals, and consultations should be sent to the
editors to hemi.ejournal@nyu.edu. Contributions that do not follow the
editorial guidelines of the journal will not be considered for
publication.  Our guidelines and style sheet can be found in our
website: http://hemisphericinstitute.org/hemi/en/participate. Advance
queries are most welcome.

Chamada para publicação – e-misférica 8.1 – Manifestações

e-misférica está aceitando ensaios acadêmicos, apresentações
artísticas/ativistas e resenhas para o seu número de Verão 2011,
Manifestações. Este número explora a prática e a poética da
performance arte na América Latina. Sob a rubrica “Manifestações”, ele
examina as diferentes genealogias institucionais, estéticas e
políticas da performance arte latino-americana, que já foi chamada de
“arte ação”, arte “não objetual”, ou “body art”, entre outros termos.
O verbo “manifestar” combina as múltiplas conotações da performance
como prática social: a ação de revelar, de materializar, de tornar
sensível, e também — especialmente em Espanhol e Português — de
promover protestos e demonstrações. Este volume procura iluminar as
“manifestações” dinâmicas da performance arte latino-americana,
questionando de que maneira essa prática articula os diferentes
registros da performance estética e política. Quais são os campos de
referencia — estéticos, sociais, políticos — com os quais a
performance arte tem se engajado e quais ela tem criado? Que
diferentes públicos a performance arte tem conjurado? Qual a relação
entre esses diversos públicos e práticas artísticas e as interpelações
das instituições (museus, publicações, escolas), dos projetos
políticos ou das formações de nação e estado num sentido mais amplo?
Quais geografias estéticas são sugeridas pela circulação, pelas
citações e pelos diálogos entre as práticas da performance arte?
Existe uma performance arte “latino-americana”, ou existe a
necessidade estética ou política de uma?

publicação semestral editada por Jill Lane e Marcial Godoy-Anativia.
Cada edição gira em torno de um tema, explorando a relação entre
