Join us at this new forum for the dissemination of new ideas.

The Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies' International Speaker & Performance Series brings distinguished scholars—recognized leaders in the overlapping fields of drama, theatre, and performance studies—to the University of Toronto each term for a public lecture, and to meet with graduate students and faculty. Even in this networked age, there is no substitute for the social and intellectual benefits of face-to-face scholarly communication. By bringing scholars of interdisciplinary interest to the Centre, we hope to foster new dialogues and connections with U of T colleagues outside the Centre—and beyond.
