The IATC is looking forward to a spring full of exciting events. Before the conference in Novi-Sad, dedicated to the question of collectivity in contemporary performance, another IATC event will bring together critics and scholars from around the world: The Shakespeare Studies Conference in Craiova. Centred around the various aspects of war in the works of Shakespeare as well as in the world today, this conference will address the multiple ways in which theatre reflects the conflicts of humankind. With two major conferences, the reunion of the Executive Committee and the planning of many other events, this spring promises to be a very intense one for theatre critics.
