> For the first time in ATHE’s
> history, the 2009 conference at the New York
> Marriott Marquis will feature a Seminar
> addressing plays from the Spanish Golden Age
> (c. 1580-1680) – the richest untapped
> resource in Western theater, equipped with
> thousands of world-class scripts to explore,
> produced in a historical moment eerily like our
> own, and superlatively positioned to build
> sorely needed bridges between Anglo and Hispanic cultural perspectives.
> Plays from the Siglo de Oro are
> barely studied (and even more rarely staged) in
> university theater programs. Yet movement
> toward reclaiming these plays has recently made
> its mark on ATHE
> conferences. Multi-disciplinary panels on
> translation, dramaturgy, religion in theater,
> and social action have featured classical
> Spanish comedias as case studies, demonstrating
> a growing interest in how this provocatively
> varied, puzzlingly unexplored body of work can enrich our practice.
> Strategies for Reviving Plays from
> the Spanish Golden Age, In Class and On Stage
> brings together the fervent but fragmented
> voices that have been calling for new
> approaches to teaching and performing classical
> Spanish plays. The Seminar invites
> contributors to share strategies, experiments,
> innovations, theories, and
> experiences. Through pre-conference exchanges,
> in-conference discussions, and post-conference
> networking, the Seminar offers participants
> (and their auditors) extraordinary
> opportunities to pool insights, interact with
> international experts, and forge new developments in the field.
