The Wooden O Symposium is a cross disciplinary conference exploring
Medieval and Renaissance Studies through the text and performance of
Shakespeare's plays. Scholars from all disciplines are encouraged to
submit papers that offer insights and new ideas springing from the era
of William Shakespeare. His plays are replete with the language,
thoughts, and arts of the Renaissance and Western culture and represent
an inexhaustible source for creative ideas and research.
Cedar City, Utah, and Southern Utah University host the Utah
Shakespearean Festival, recipients of the 2000 Tony Award for
Outstanding Regional Theater. The conference coincides with the
Festival's summer season where three Shakespeare plays will be performed
in the Adams Memorial Theater, a unique performance space modeled after
Shakespeare's own Globe Theatre. To enrich the conference experience
all Academic attendees will receive a ticket to an evening performance
of The Merry Wives of Windsor (Monday, Aug. 7).
*** Conference Priorities ***
* The Utah Shakespearean Festival will be presenting The Merry Wives of
Windsor, Antony and Cleopatra, and Hamlet, as part of their summer 2006
season. Priority for papers/presentations at the conference will be
given to research relating to one or more of these specific works.
Scholars attending the conference will have the unique opportunity of
immersing themselves in research, text and performance in one of the
most beautiful natural settings in the western U.S.
* Graduate students are encouraged to attend and submit papers for
presentation at the conference's Graduate Sessions.
* Southern Utah University is a proud supporter of undergraduate
research and is pleased to announce that this conference will include an
exciting undergraduate component hosted by the SUU Honors Program.
