Faustival

University of Calgary

April 3-5, 2003

In March and April 2003, the University of Calgary’s Department of Drama, in collaboration with the Department of Germanic, Slavic & East Asian Studies, is mounting the first Canadian production of both parts of J. W. Goethe’s Faust(in English translation). This occasion will be celebrated with an international and interdisciplinary “Faustival”, an event centred on the Faust myth that will combine a more traditional academic conference with a variety of other presentations. We invite proposals for contributions related to any aspect of the Faust myth (not only Goethe’s version) and in any format, including but not limited to:

• Academic papers
• Performances (e.g. music, theatre, dance, puppet theatre)
• Readings of original creative work
• Audio-visual presentations
• Art or poster exhibits

Contributions other than exhibits should be a maximum of 30 minutes in length. Proposals should consist of a paper abstract or project description of about 250 words and contact information. The deadline for proposals is July 31, 2002.
