<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR">FOOT 2012</span></b><span lang="FR"> is about the complex relationships between theatre and learning in both theory and practice. This conference will comprise three broad areas of exploration:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR"><span> </span>All three streams of the festival will include paper presentations, roundtables, workshops, and performances, with the latter taking place at various sites on campus and in various theatres in downtown Toronto.
We expect theatre scholars, artists, educators and education scholars to be most active participants at the festival.<span>
</span>Because of the constant interaction between theory and practice in this field, research presentations may not comfortably fit a “paper presentation” format.<span>
</span>We recognise that demonstrations or even presentations where participants get up on their feet might be more appropriate for exploring and discussing the nuances associated with theatre and learning.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">We expect that the presentations, performances, or workshops will strive to make connections between theatre and learning in specific and possibly unexpected ways.
