THEATRE TOPICS 31.2 CFP: Special Issue on Essentials

The editors of Theatre Topics announce a revised topic for the spring 2021 special issue: Essentials. In this time of pandemic, recession, and uncertainty, what are you embracing, preserving, or discovering as essential about theatre? What ideas, practices, or values seem especially true or necessary to you as theatre artists, teachers, and/or scholars? Although as always we welcome original articles, for this issue, we especially solicit briefer “Notes from the Field” submissions of no longer than 4,000 words. The deadline for PRINT submissions is October 15, 2020. The deadline for ONLINE submissions is 15 December 2020. Early submissions are encouraged.

Amid the cacophony of directives, news stories, and advice, one steady theme is the emphasis on essentials. Previously optional tasks become essential life disciplines: frequent handwashing, mask-wearing, and social distancing. Stores advertise essential products. Essential businesses struggle to stay open even as those whom they employ endure substandard wages and conditions. People winnow their immediate social circles to the most vital contacts. Politically and culturally, deep disagreements emerge about which values, institutions, or lives qualify as indispensable. We debate the essence of essentials.

Such debates usually deposit theatre solidly in the “optional” category. Most of the elements we might consider essential to teaching, producing, and experiencing theatre—live co-presence, breathing the same air, large assemblies—prove inadvisable. Yet, we might insist, performance remains an integral part of human life. We do our best to realize productions, lesson plans, and rigorous scholarship about theatre even as so much about our profession becomes impossible.

For this issue, then, we ask you to share your reflections about what in your professional and artistic life as a theatre person becomes or remains essential. We open three non-exclusive avenues of consideration:

Constants: What about theatre remains unchanged? What aspects of teaching, studying, and doing theatre can you cling to as rocks that anchor you? What elements serve as pole stars that orient you toward life and hope? Conversely, what about our profession or institutions needs changing but stays the same even now? What outmoded systems or attitudes persist, hindering us from meeting the challenges of the moment?

Discoveries: How have your ideas about the essentials of theatre practice, study, and pedagogy changed in light of this situation? Where, how, and why have you revised your ideas of indispensability in theatre? What have you done away with? What adaptations to teaching and doing performance have you adopted that you now consider integral to your work?

Hopes and Fears: What might theatre practice, pedagogy, and scholarship learn through (or despite) this experience? What essentials are you afraid we might lose touch with? What deleterious elements do you fear will install themselves as essentials to theatre because of this event? What essentials do you hope we take with us as teachers, critics, and artists into the post-COVID future?

Applied Theatre: Working with Youth, to be published by Routledge. Call for contributors:
This collection of essays seeks to highlight the value and efficacy of Applied Theatre with young people (those under 18) in a myriad of settings, while also addressing its challenges and offering concrete solutions. The implementation and sustainability of Applied Theatre programs require funding, complex logistical planning, committed participants, and community buy-in. While practitioners attest to the transformative impact of this work, some may feel marginalized by critics who deem the fruits of their labor to be of compromised artistic quality. Educators may also feel unrecognized by their administration in terms of compensation and promotion. Artists and scholars in the field thus have a need to see these high-impact practices recognized, documented, debated, and shared in the kind of public forums that are too often absent in traditional critical discourse. More specifically, Applied Theatre’s necessary engagement with vulnerable populations raises ethical questions around consent, reciprocity, agency, and authorship. These concerns become amplified when working with minors.
Some questions this manuscript examines include:
What is the benefit for participants of Applied Theatre (artistically, socially, intellectually, emotionally)?
What are some of the key challenges of doing this work and how best to overcome them?
What are key philosophical values or commitments that underpin the work? What ethical values are important; what are the ethical dangers?
What can we learn through and about collaboration, whether among team leaders, with community partners, or across/within different institutions of higher education and/or professional companies/organizations?
Applied Theatre: Working with Youth follows a unique, interactive format that expands the discourse. The book is divided into thematic sections. Each section has a lead essay that is written by one person or a co-written essay on the topic, addressing the questions outlined above based on their area of expertise. Two scholars/practitioners will then be chosen to write a response essay to the original essay. Sections include the following topics:
Working with youth in urban contexts; working with youth in rural contexts; youth, gender, and sexuality; youth and disability; youth and immigration; youth and inter-cultural connections; juvenile incarceration/justice system; youth activism (the environment, gun control, human rights).
Interested contributors should send a bio (150 words maximum) and a 200 word abstract outlining their program. Please indicate which section you would like in contributing to and whether you would like to be considered for a lead essay (5,000 words) or serve as a respondent (2,500 words). Deadline: Jan 10th. All inquiries and submissions should be sent to the editors: Lisa S. Brenner, Chris Ceraso, and Evelyn Diaz Cruz @ [email protected].

As you get ready to start the 2019-2020 academic year, consider assigning essays from Theatre Topics. If you do assign from journals, ask students to download from databases, rather than downloading yourself and sharing with students. That increases our readership numbers.

THEATRE TOPICS 30.2 CFP: Special Issue on Q***r Pedagogy in Theatre and Performance
Q***rness is a structuring and educated mode of desiring that allows us to see and feel beyond the quagmire of the present…. We must dream and enact new and better pleasures, other ways of being in the world, and ultimately new worlds.
José Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Q***r Futurity

The editors of Theatre Topics are pleased to announce a call for submissions to the journal’s upcoming Special Issue on q***r pedagogy in theatre and performance. Our aim with this special issue is to develop new pedagogical approaches and performance practices that bring q***r studies to the forefront of theatre and performance. We consider q***rness to include investigations of how we can throw normative structures into permanent question as well as explorations of q***r and trans lives. The deadline for PRINT submissions is October 15, 2019. The deadline for ONLINE submissions is 15 January 2020. Early submissions are encouraged.

Theatre and performance studies departments are the source of significant scholarship in q***r theory. Nevertheless, our programs have remained substantially untouched by q***rness. Many theatre and performance studies curricula operate within organization structures that include q***r people but that have not been transformed by the radical potentials of q***r theory or q***r worldmaking. Impasses to other “modes of desiring” are deeply institutionalized: traditional and inflexible doctoral and MFA/BFA programs create rigid boundaries, and disciplinary performance practices track hierarchies, while theatrical canons further reinforce them. Further, q***r and trans people are required to account for their bodies in the classroom, on stage, and even in drafting licensing agreements for performance. Although an argument can be made that theatre and performance studies programs veer towards interdisciplinarity, these efforts face structural obstacles from inside and outside of our departments that resist further q***ring of the field and inclusion of minoritarian subjects and desires. Q***r pedagogues and practitioners find themselves in, but not fully of the academy’s structures. Can q***r studies provide tools to revisit how we develop our artistic and intellectual communities?

If, as Muñoz writes, q***rness is about creating other ways of being in the world, how might one imagine q***r pedagogies and performance? What do q***r pedagogies and performance practices look like and whom do they serve? How can q***r studies help us think with pleasure/affect/sensation in the classroom, while also accounting for hierarchies of power?

Theatre Topics seeks submissions for a special issue on q***r pedagogy in theatre and performance studies across the globe. Essays should explore emergent research, educational theories, classroom practices, and the role of performance in q***r theatre and pedagogy. Essays might explore but are not limited to the following:
● Bridging the gap between q***r research and teaching
● Genderq***r and non-binary perspectives in casting and season selection—both in educational and professional settings.
● Cultivating q***r theatre that attends to race, disability, indigeneity, class, and transnational geo-politics
● Q***r theory’s influence on political, devised, or collaboratively-created theatre
● Cross-pollination between q***r theatre and other theatrical movements or styles
● Integrating q***r plays and performance practices into core theatre studies syllabi
● Q***r and trans perspectives on power hierarchies in the classroom, department, and institution
● Valuing q***r and trans representation, voices, and desires.
● Q***r forms that respond to implicitly heteronormative production models
● Intersections between the academy and q***r/trans spaces (nightlife, protest, support groups, etc.)
