Guided by the overall conference focus on THTR 2 DA MAX, the Mid America
Theatre Conference Pedagogy Symposium seeks complete panel proposals,
discussion sessions, and workshop demonstrations that somehow attend to
notions of Xtreme-ness. Given this, we encourage all submissions to push
accepted notions of “pedagogy”, “theatre”, and “performance” to their
limits by way of suggesting and sharing an array of information exchanges
(broadly defined) drawn from both within and without what might be
considered by the academy as conventional learning environments. In the end
we are looking for critical engagements that reach across boundaries, cross

he helps Dante the Pilgrim achieve moral reform in The Divine Comedy?
What is the significance of the conflation of Hell and Purgatory in C.S.
Lewis’ The Great Divorce, and why are some lost souls ultimately able to

from Hell when such a rescue had never before been achieved? In the

areas) continue to demonstrate how animal representations serve a range of
purposes as well as “masters” with all that the term entails and help to
raise both epistemological and ontological questions, including the nature
of subjectivity, agency, the construction of race, gender, and culture
