Lois,
I would like to make a proposal for a presentation on a topic which I tentatively call "A CHAT based understanding of semiotic tools: play, metaphor and creating realities". Does this make any sense to you? I will send you a formal proposal
Ana

Announcement and Call for Proposals
Performing the World 2
October 17 - 19, 2003
With great excitement, we announce the second international "Montauk
happening" - Performing the World 2. In 2001, over 250 participants from
nine countries gathered in the peaceful, oceanfront setting of Montauk, NY
for Performing the World: Communication, Improvisation and Societal Practice.
The weekend conference brought together performers, educators, artists,
scholars and researchers, therapists, health and helping professionals,
business professionals, youth workers, activists and community organizers to
explore the potential of performance for personal, organizational and
social-cultural change. Over forty sessions (conversations, panels,
workshops and performances) showcased innovative practice and scholarship and
provided a rich context for learning and performing together. (You can read
about it at www.performingtheworld.org.)
Since then, performance-based practice and theory have grown in recognition
and popularity worldwide. Today, there exist hundreds of programs in scores
of countries, disciplines and areas of life that utilize or study performance
as developmental and transformative. In addition to helping the individuals
they reach, such programs speak to the growth of a movement to reinitiate the
relational, the communal, the creative, the developmental drive of human
beings. Performing the World 2 is being convened to support and expand this
international, cross-disciplinary community.
The weekend conference will feature conversations, panels, workshops and
performances. Join us as we...
ÿ discover the richness of performance as metaphor and as practice... in
psychology, psychotherapy, education, medicine and health care,
organizational change, business, community development, youth development,
participatory research and evaluation, and more
ÿ explore the ensemble nature of human learning, the power of play, the
healing quality of story and metaphor, the socialness of creativity, the
building of culture and community, and more
ÿ produce the performance of a conference, the topic of which is "performance"

Call for Proposals
Proposals for conversations, panels, workshops, performances and formal talks
are welcome.
Proposals should include the following:
A description of 250-500 words that includes information on the topic,
project and presentation format
A narrative bio of presenter(s)
Audio-visual and other needs (you can use the form provided)
Contact person info (name, affiliation, postal address, telephone, fax, email
address)
To emphasize the performative, we want to encourage a playfulness with regard
to presentations by having some of them delivered in more than one
presentation mode. For example, a panel of speakers might present their work
and then-on the spot or with some minimal conceptual and rehearsal
time-volunteer audience participants would present it as a performance piece.
Conversely, a staged performance might be presented and then recast as a
lecture, again by volunteers. Please indicate on your proposal if you are
interested in having your presentation played with in this manner.
Proposals should be emailed to: Lois Holzman at ptw@eastsideinstitute.org
If you can't email, then mail or fax to:
