 rence. One lucky attendee will win a free copy of the book: a $190 value! 
 Professor Leffler will also share a few stories about how the book came to
  be and the impact he hopes it will have. About the book:This book examine
 s applied theatre projects that bring together diverse groups and foster i
 ntercultural dialogue. Based on five case studies and informed by play the
 ory, it argues that the playful elements of theatre processes nurture a u
 nique intimacy among diverse people. However, this playful quality can al
 so dampen explicit conversations about participants’ cultural differences\
 , and defer an interrogation of people’s own entrenchment in systemic powe
 r imbalances. As a result, addressing these differences and imbalances in
  applied theatre contexts may require particular strategies.About Professo
 r Elliot Leffler: Elliot Leffler is Assistant Professor of Theatre and Per
 formance at the University of Toronto in Canada. As an artist and a schola
 r, Elliot explores theatre-making as a context for intercultural, interf
 aith, and intergenerational dialogue. He has led theatre projects with wh
 ite, black, and coloured South Africans, with Jews and Palestinians in 
 Israel, with Kurdish and Arab Iraqis, with urban US high school students
 , and with racially-diverse houses of worship. His previous publications 
 include articles in Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Th
 eatre Research, Theatre Research International, The Drama Review, Theat
 re Topics, and Contemporary Theatre Review.Please RSVP here. \n79 St. Geo
