Grand Valley Shakespeare Festival, Michigan’s oldest continuous-running Shakespeare Festival, in conjunction with the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company, Michigan's only year-round touring Shakespeare company, is holding its bi-annual conference in 2012, entitled "Shakespeare: Pedagogy and  Performance".\r\n
 \r\n
This year, we are focusing on issues that affect the teaching,  production, or performance of Shakespeare and early modern drama for  secondary or college students. We are currently seeking proposals from  Shakespeare Festival Education Directors, English, Theatre, and  Interdisciplinary Professors, Secondary Education Teachers, and Graduate  Students specializing in Shakespeare, Theatre, dramaturgy, or the early  modern period.\r\n
 \r\n
Our featured Conference Keynote Speaker and Scholar-in-Residence this  year is Professor Carole Levin, Willa Cather Professor of History and  Director of the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program at the  University of Nebraska. Professor Levin is an award-winning teacher and  the author of several books, including: The Heart and Stomach of a  King: Elizabeth I and the Politics of Sex and Power; Dreaming the  English Renaissance: Politics and Desire in Court and Country; and Shakespeare’s Foreign Worlds (with  John Watkins). She has held fellowships at the Newberry Library in  Chicago and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., where in  2009 she curated the exhibit, “To Sleep, Perchance to Dream.” She is  also co-founder and past president of the Queen Elizabeth I Society.\r\n
