Performing the World Conference

The All Stars Project's Performing the World Conference is set to take place on October, 2-5 2008. They are accepting proposals for this year's theme:"Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," focusing on history and process--both of participants' personal histories and that of performance in the world.

The All Stars Project is an organization that focuses on youth development and community performance. I've done some work with them in the past and think they have some good things going on. The conference will be co-sponsored by The East Side Institute for Group and Short Term Psychotherapy.
