> 12th annual conference. The AAP conference is a two-day event, to be held
> at the Hyatt Regency in Washington, D.C., preceding and during the annual
> ATHE (Association for Theatre in Higher Education) conference. The keynote
> speaker this year will be Richard Nichols.
>
> Proposals are invited for papers, panels, workshops and roundtable

>
> The deadline for proposals is April 15, 2012.
>
> Proposals for individual papers should include a brief abstract.
> Individual presentations should be limited to 20 minutes so that there
> will be time left for questions and discussion. Visual materials (slides,
> video etc.) are strongly encouraged.
>
> Panels should be composed of three paper presenters and one discussant or
> four paper presenters. Proposals for panels should provide a brief
> statement that explains the session as a whole and the proposed subject of
> each paper.
>
> Roundtables offer an opportunity for participants to discuss a specific
> theme, issue or significant recent publication. A maximum of six active
> participants is recommended. While a roundtable proposal will not be as
> detailed as a panel proposal, it should explain fully the session's
> purpose, themes or issues and scope.
>
> Proposals for workshops by performance practitioner(s) with expertise in
> specific Asian performance traditions are welcomed, particularly workshops
> that overlap with a panel theme or paper presentation. Workshop proposals
> should include an abstract explaining methods and goals. Workshops should
> be designed to run no longer than 80 minutes.
>
> Poster session. Your proposal should include a brief abstract and the
> visual design (including visual aids on a tri-fold standing poster and
> videos if applicable) of your poster. You will be giving short,
> multimedia-enhanced presentations to visitors. The AAP will do its best to
> pair specialists in your subject area to act as respondents. A reception
> will be held for the poster session. Past presenters at the poster
> sessions included both junior and senior scholars.
>
> We encourage suggestions for innovative alternatives to the panels,
> individual papers and roundtables described above.
>
> Proposals should include the following:
