Blackfriars x Southwest
by The Baron's Men
Apr. 08 - Apr. 10, 2016
Friday-Sunday
Sad to see SXSW go? We are brining a new take on it to the Curtain on April 8-10. The Baron's Men is partnering with the American Shakespeare Center to bring an extension of their biennial conference, Blackfriars, to Austin as Blackfriars x Southwest.
We will join those who teach Shakespeare and those who produce his plays to explore the connections between Scholarship and Practice. Attend The Baron's Men's Richard III and enjoy papers in plenary sessions (bear-supervised for brevity). The conference will feature a keynote address by Ralph Alan Cohen and over 40 papers exploring the theme "Performing Histories", all in the beautiful Elizabethan-style Curtain Theatre in Austin, Texas.
Join other lovers of historic theater to explore topics like "How many children had Lady Macbeth?" and "Heads Will Role." An Auditor Pass is $100, and Listener Pass is $50.
