 The University of
Aberystwyth in Wales recently announced the lineup for the July Howard Barker's Art of the Theatre conference. Along
with keynote speeches from Elisabeth Angel-Perez ("Reinventing Grand
Narratives: Barker's Challenge to Postmodernism"), Charles Lamb ("Barker's
Pictorial Landscapes") and Barker himself ("The Sunless Garden of the
Unconsoled: Some Destinations Beyond Catastrophe"), there will also be a
variety of other events, including papers from actress Melanie Jessop, Graham Saunders and Dan Rebellato, and a rehearsed reading of Barker's
2006 play A Wounded Knife in a coproduction by Lurking
Truth/Gwir Sy'n Llechu and Bold Productions and directed by David Ian
Rabey. I'll be reading my own contribution, "Access to the Body: The
Theatre of Revelation in Beckett, Foreman and Barker," on Sunday 12 July
as part of the panel on "The Body," which will be chaired by Charmian
Savill. The full conference program has just been released and is
available here. Naturally I'm proud to have been invited to
participate in such a distinguished undertaking and will try to hold my
own among such an illustrious group. I will hope to meet some of you
there.
In the meantime, tickets are on sale for the Potomac Theatre Project's upcoming New
York production of The Europeans, which I wrote about here.
Performances begin on 2 July and run through the end of the month.
