Call for papers

International Symposium on Japanese Theatre in the 21st Century
2-7 July 2001, The University of Edinburgh and the Royal Museum of Scotland

The symposium is part of the series of Japan 2001events promoting Japanese
culture in the UK, and follows on from the international symposium on
Japanese Theatre in the World, held in May 1998 at Edinburgh's twin city,
Munich.  Its aim is to bring together performers, scholars and members of
the local community concerned with Japanese theatre.  Presentations and
performances on the theme of Japanese Theatre in the Twenty-first Century
should focus on traditional and modern genres and contemporary approaches
to understanding them intellectually, expressing them on stage and
appreciating them from the audience viewpoint. 

Papers in English or Japanese are invited in the following areas:

- Zeami's F?shi kaden (1400-2000): its rediscovery in the 20th century and
impact on the 21st century

-  Multimedia and Japanese theatre

-  Japanese theatre on the international scene: its influence and effects

Secretary, Carol Rennie, at: JapanTheatre at ed.ac.uk
