Dateline: 9th December, 2009
Globe to Host American Shakespeare Conference Shakespeare's Globe is to host the twentieth annual conference of the Shakespeare Theatre Association of America (STAA) from 7th to 10th January, 2010. Representatives from over 150 Shakespeare producing theatres and festivals from the USA and Canada will meet to discuss Who Owns Shakespeare? The Shakespeare Theatre Association of America was established to provide a forum for the artistic and managerial leadership of theatres whose central activity is the production of Shakespeare's plays, to discuss issues and share methods of work, resources, and information, and to act as an advocate for Shakespearean productions in North America. Although the majority of the STAA's membership are US-based, the Globe is also a member, as is the Australian Shakespeare Festival. The conference programme has been devised in cooperation with the current President of STAA, Philip Sneed, Artistic Director of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Peter Kyle (CEO of Shakespeare's Globe), Dominic Dromgoole (Artistic Director) and Patrick Spottiswoode (Director, Globe Education)will all lead sessions during the conference. Adrian Noble, former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, will be a guest speaker. Delegates will be taken on a private visit to Middle Temple Hall, the venue of the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night where Tim Carroll, former associate director at the Globe, will explore the influence of playing spaces on performance. He directed Twelfth Night at Middle Temple Hall before its transfer to the Globe for the play's 400th anniversary in 2002.
