Shakespeare scholars from England, Ireland, Canada and the United States will convene Friday and Saturday (Nov. 5 and 6) at the University of Notre Dames McKenna Hall for the inaugural conference for the McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies.

Titled “Shakespeare: Remembering Performance,” the event will include presentations by internationally renowned experts in the field of Shakespeare and performance.

Conference organizer Peter Holland, who holds the McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies and chairs the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre (FTT) is a central figure in performance-oriented Shakespeare criticism. Formerly director of the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon, he pioneered the modern study of Restoration drama and wrote the book “Ornament of Action.”

The schedule for “Shakespeare: Remembering Performance” is available at: http://www.nd.edu/~ftt/shakespeare.shtml

In connection with the conference, Notre Dames Fall ArtsFest 2004: “Shakespeare in Performance,” will feature a series of Shakespearean plays, films and concerts from Wednesday through Sunday (Nov. 3-7).

The event is the first semi-annual festival of arts and ideas to be held in the Universitys new Marie P. DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts. Fall ArtsFest 2004 is sponsored by the Center and FTT.
