The NoPassport Conference at Arizona State University in Tempe

Produced With
Saturday 14 April and Sunday 15 April 2012

"Dreaming the Americas," the 6th Annual NoPassport Theatre Conference livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Saturday 14 April and Sunday 15 April 2012 from the Arizona State University-Tempe Campus.

The Annual NoPassport Conference assembles theater scholars, critics and playwrights from across the Americas to dream, discuss and perform about social, economic and political justice issues and their relation to theater.

NoPassport was founded six years ago in New York City, its traditional home, by playwright Caridad Svich. Svich's adaptation of Isabel Allende's famous novel, The House of the Spirits, runs concurrently at ASU Tempe's Galvin Playhouse. NoPassport events include panel discussions with noted theater scholars and playwrights and a keynote address by award-winning Chicano performance artist and playwright Luis Alfaro. At ASU, the conference is made possible through the support of the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and the School of Theatre and Film.

Theatrical events feature Brian Herrera's I Was the Voice of Democracy on Friday 13 April; The House of the Spirits on Saturday 14 April and a command performance Sunday 15 April of Borderland Theatre of Tuscon's No Roosters in the Desert, which was presented in Phoenix by ASU last year. The conference and performances are open to the public; however, only the conference sessions were livestreamed. For more information, visit the NoPassport Conference's schedule.

Opening remarks by the conference planners, which was the first livestreamed event, started on Saturday 14 April at 9:30 a.m. PDT / 11:30 a.m. CDT / 12:30 p.m. EDT / 16:30 GMT / 17:30 (London) / 18:30 (Berlin) / 22:00 (Mumbai).
