SESSION Proposal Form-2008 ATHE Annual Conference - July 31-August 3, 2008

Grand Hyatt, 1750 Welton St., Denver, CO
Difficult Dialogues: Theatre and the Art of Engagement
As Playwright John Patrick Shanley once said- “Theatre is a safe place to do unsafe things that need to be done.” The ATHE 2008 conference is dedicated to this aspect of theatre’s nature. We will be examining and exploring the essence of how theatre, theatre artists and scholars engage an audience, on stage, in the classroom and with the written word in an effort to achieve an authentic dialogue. What is it that makes a true dialogue so difficult? What dialogues are we avoiding? How can we better engage? Who is being left out of the conversation and why? In what ways has theatre capitalized on the nature of its art and served as a “safe place” to engage in the “unsafe”…in difficult dialogues?
