The Georgetown University Theater and Performance Studies Program will host an invited convening on Global Performance, Civic Imagination, and Cultural Diplomacy June 14-16, 2012.

This dynamic gathering, supported by the Georgetown University Reflective Engagement in the Public Interest Grant, will bring together more than fifty theater artists, policymakers, government officials, activists, cultural leaders, educators, journalists, and scholars from around the world, as well as Georgetown University faculty, students, and alumni.

Led by Georgetown’s Derek Goldman, Artistic Director of the Davis Performing Arts Center and Professor of Theater and Performance Studies, and Cynthia P. Schneider, Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy, the three-day convening will explore how to maximize the potential of theater and performance in the context of international challenges, and how to bridge the gap between the worlds of foreign policy and global performance.
