From 6\u20138 November, Deakin University is hosting the 2019 Performing Arts Heritage Network (PAHN) Conference<\/strong><\/a> in the Western Beach Room on the Waterfront Campus. Two days of presentations from historians, archivists, researchers and arts practitioners will culminate in a walking tour of Geelong\u2019s arts and heritage institutions on the third and final day. Venues include Back to Back Theatre, Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) and the Geelong Heritage Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our University Librarian, Craig Anderson, will open the conference, which is also supported by Deakin University Library.<\/p>\n

PAHN \u2013 a National Network affiliated with the Australian Museums and Galleries Association \u2013 is dedicated to the collection, preservation and continued accessibility of Australia\u2019s performance histories<\/strong>. This year\u2019s conference begins with a strong focus on Geelong, with presentations on local travelling shows and showmen, Deakin\u2019s own Mill Theatre Company (1978-1987), Back to Back Theatre and theatre memorabilia from the Geelong Heritage Centre collections.<\/p>\n

\"Ladies<\/a><\/p>\n

From there, the offerings billow out geographically to include papers on Melbourne theatres and theatre companies, Sydney dance, touring companies as tools of soft diplomacy in the Asia Pacific region, and New York\u2019s The Wooster Group<\/strong>. There will also be round table discussions to accommodate lightning talks and last-minute contributions.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s Geelong campus is the ideal venue for PAHN. Drama, theatre and performance studies<\/strong> have been on the curriculum at Deakin since its beginnings in the late 1970s. Many graduates have gone on to successful careers in the arts and entertainment industries, including Rachel Griffiths and comedian Tommy Little<\/strong> (The Project). Deakin\u2019s professional theatre companies, The Mill Theatre and The Woolly Jumpers, helped to redefine community theatre in Melbourne, and in the process spawned a generation of influential local and international performers and companies.<\/p>\n

Deakin has also been heavily involved with GPAC from its inception until the present day<\/strong>. The University is the major sponsor of GPAC\u2019s theatre season, and Deakin\u2019s Costa Hall is well-frequented venue for GPAC events.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still time to register to attend this year\u2019s conference.<\/strong> You can choose the full conference ticket<\/a> or pay for one day only<\/a>.
