PROGRAM CHAIRS’ WELCOMEA NOTE FROM THE 2019 PROGRAM CHAIRSPannill CampCharlotte M. CanningBrian Eugenio HerreraKoritha MitchellWelcome to Arlington, Virginia, and the 62nd annual conference for the American Societyfor Theatre Research and the Theatre Library Association!When the four of us decided to propose a conference that took up the many and variedaspects of public-facing scholarship, we each brought different perspectives, researchinterests, and lived experiences to the table. What we shared, and wanted to share withothers, was a deep investment in the question, what does it mean to engage the public?In an age when shared public spaces are being threatened or erased and when newtechnologies blur private and public domains, the contemporary and historicalpractices of theatre have extended infrastructure and social processes that enable masscommunication detached from official political authority. Whether through teaching,theatre practice, social media, op-eds and “trade” books, or through participation invarious forms of outreach, theatre makers and scholars are increasingly expected to bringtheir work to audiences beyond the academy. (In that spirit, please use #ASTR2019 on allsocial media platforms!)We knew the work already undertaken by TLA and ASTR members would provide idealavenues for exploring the ways in which live performance has furnished the labor andspace for asking what it means to bring work to the general public as scholars/citizens/artists. And we knew this community was equipped to engage these issues within a widerange of cultures and during diverse times. What has theatrically engaging the publicmeant in past historical moments? How does an investment in various publics changehow we understand theatre of the past and what we anticipate for theatre of the future?The conference committee and the program chairs come from different kinds ofinstitutions, parts of the U.S., and varied scholarly and artistic practices. Together weworked through the incredible proposals we received and made very difficult choicesas we had far more excellent submissions than could fit into the conference’s spaceand time. Creating a conference of this complexity is a daunting challenge. We had theideal conference committee and unwavering support from the ASTR leadership. Weparticularly want to thank Presidents Daphne Lei and Marla Carlson, as our work spanned4THEATRE’S MANY PUBLICS ASTR/TLA 2019 NOV 7-10 ARLINGTON VA
PROGRAM CHAIRS’ WELCOMEthe end of the former’s term and the beginning of the latter’s. Similarly, we worked withboth Jill Stevenson and Jimmy Noriega as Vice Presidents for Conferences. We very muchappreciated the support they both offered. As the conference neared, we relied heavily onJimmy’s expertise, experience, and good humor. Our work together covered the transitionaway from Ewald and into interim management under Nancy Erickson. Working with her,as well as Devon Binder and Shaun Franklin-Sewell, made what could have been a disastera rewarding and efficient collaboration.We offer huge thanks to the program chairs of 2018, Chase Bringardner, Christin Essin,and Kirsten Pullen. While they did the demanding labor to create a conference only tosee it not come fully to fruition, they were enormously helpful and generous to us. Theirconference may have had to be cancelled, but our efforts were very much informedby theirs, and we hope they can see the intellectual and political commitment of theirwork honored in ours. We are similarly grateful for the continuity and conscientiousnessprovided by Field Conversation coordinators Chrystyna Dail and Noe Montez.Arlington is an ideal site for exploring questions of scholarship, theatre, and the public.As we gather on the unceded traditional lands of the Pamunkey people, adjacent toproperties once held by General Robert E. Lee, and minutes away from Arlington NationalCemetery, we recognize that the greater Washington, D.C., area has long been the site ofattempts to situate the state’s relationship to the governed, to represent the experienceof immigrants and indigenous peoples, and to interpret and perform national “publics”who engage with museums, monuments, ceremonies, and demonstrations. The greaterWashington, D.C., area is also a vibrant theatre hub and home to artists and citizens whouse the stage to confront weighty issues with imagination and empathy. We hope you areinvigorated and challenged by all these connections and many more, which we worked toincorporate into your experience.Pannill Camp, Charlotte M.

VICE PRESIDENT OFCONFERENCES WELCOMEA NOTE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CONFERENCESWelcome to the 2019 ASTR/TLA conference!This year’s Program Chairs—Pannill Camp,Charlotte Canning, Brian Herrera, and KorithaMitchell—have worked diligently over thepast year to craft a program on the theme of“Theatre’s Many Publics.” The next four daysin Arlington will give us the opportunity todiscuss, engage, and reflect on the manyways that theatre and performance interactwith various types of publics, spaces, andsocial and political issues.In addition to the many wonderful plenaryand curated panels, the program consists ofthirty-four working sessions and a numberof other events dedicated to professionaland scholarly development. For thismeeting, rather than create a traditionalState of the Profession panel, the co-chairscurated a plenary roundtable to guide ourconversations on “The Practice of PublicFacing Scholarship.” It features perspectivesand expertise from Sarah Bay-Cheng, RobinBernstein, Martine Kei Green-Rogers, Eric Colleary, and Miriam Felton-Dansky. Additionally,conference attendees will have opportunities to continue this dialogue through thePublic-Facing Scholarship Practice Sessions.This year ASTR continues its commitment to decolonize the society and the field oftheatre research through the José Esteban Muñoz Targeted Research Working Sessionsinitiative. Sunday morning will feature a talk by artist-scholar Cristóbal Martínez titled,“Disidentifying Borders: Coalitional Futurity and Migration.” Dominika Laster and HilaryCooperman, the convenors of the third Muñoz working session group, will moderatethe conference-wide event. Also, it is important to note that the second Muñoz workingsession group (“queer nightlife performance: flesh, pleasure, and power at night”) optedto postpone their final meeting until next year when they can take full advantage of allthe nightlife New Orleans has to offer. We look forward to seeing both groups finish theircycles in 2020.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the program committee and the variousother volunteers and groups that helped to make this year’s conference a success,including the Graduate Student Caucus, TLA representatives, and Committee onConferences. Chrystyna Dail and Noe Montez deserve a big thank you for curating theField Conversations on a number of topics that will be invaluable to our members. TracyDavis and Hala Baki worked on the mentorship efforts of the organization by focusing onthe needs of graduate students and faculty at different levels of their careers. This year weTHEATRE’S MANY PUBLICS ASTR/TLA 2019 NOV 7-10 ARLINGTON VA7
VICE PRESIDENT OFCONFERENCES WELCOMEare trying a new approach to the Mentorship Breakfast and will be hosting two of them:one for graduate students and the other for mid-career faculty. Our hope is to find ways torotate these types of mentorship opportunities and networking events from year to yearin an effort to maximize their impact on the various needs of our members.I am extremely thankful to the ASTR staff for their professional and friendly approachto planning and executing our conference. I thank the many individuals from EwaldConsulting who helped us begin and transition our work on this conference as we shiftedto a new organizational model. I am also very grateful to Nancy Erickson, Devon Binder,Hugo Hellberg, Michael Fuller, and Shaun Franklin-Sewell, who worked tirelessly tosupport us throughout the summer and fall.
