2019 Festival of Original Theatre Conference

Conference Co-Organizer

“Equity and Diversity in the Performing Arts”

The Festival of Original Theatre (FOOT) is the annual student-organized conference held by the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Toronto. The theme of FOOT changes every year, according to the research interests of the new artistic director of the conference, but it’s main goal is to provide graduate students and the performing arts community an academic outlet to showcase, critique, review, perform, discuss, and analyze the changing world of drama, theatre and performance.

The 27th annual FOOT conference asks, “ What is the changing relationship of drama, theatre, and performance to practices which centralize equity through intersectionality?”
