Performing the World 4 recognizes, celebrates and interrogates the growing
global performance movement and its relationship to community building--the

"stage-making" might mean for human development, the growth of communities
and social change.
The weekend conference will bring together performers, educators, artists,
scholars and researchers, psychologists and therapists, health and helping
