ASEEES panel proposal: Soviet Theatre

[Dassia Posner]

Dear colleagues,
William Gunn and I are organizing an ASEEES panel that will focus on new archival research on Soviet theatre from the Revolution to the death of Stalin.  In keeping with the theme of this year's conference, we are especially interested in examples of boundary and border crossing; this might include Soviet productions of foreign plays, Soviet stagings of plays from the Imperial period, Soviet appropriations of popular entertainments (circus, commedia dell'arte, Charlie Chaplin, etc.), Soviet tours abroad or visits from abroad to see Soviet productions, and theatre artists who negotiated the shifting boundaries of censorship and Socialist Realism.  
We are seeking a chair and an additional panelist.
Please email me at d-posner at northwestern.edu and William Gunn at gunn at usc.edu if you are interested.  Thanks!
Best,
Dassia Posner
