Meeting at the Edge – Conference 2010

Meeting at the Edge – Conference 2010
Categories: Conference, NSW — Socio Editor @ 5:43 am
The ANZPA Community in Sydney is gearing up to welcome you to the 2010 ANZPA Conference next January. As part of warming up to the conference here is an update on what we have been doing.

Developing The Program
Together with our entire ANZPA community, we are creating a program where we can meet each other at the edge in a number of ways:

at the edge of the method – new frontiers:
at the edge of our practice:
at our personal edges: and
across the edge between different cultures.
We are still accepting abstracts for presentations and workshops until 31 August, so there’s time to get yours to us (even if it’s only a tiny seedling of an idea at the moment). The ANZPA website has the links to do this.

We are excited about the workshops offered by Yaacov Naor, Chris Hosking, Jenny Hutt and Don Reekie.

In the meantime you can download “Theatre of the Holocaust”, an article by Yaacov Naor about his work.

Registration
Registration will be opening in a few weeks (September) for the main Conference and for the pre and post workshops.

The Venue
We know you will love Sancta Sophia College at the University of Sydney. The address is 8 Missenden Road Camperdown NSW 2050. Here are more photos and details.

More comprehensive information about accommodation will be available online at registration time.

Internet
There will be free internet access from their computer room. Individual connection from your room is available for a fee of $10 per day.

Taxis
The fare from the airport is about $25 depending on the time of day. Sharing the 10 kilometre trip would be the most convenient and cheap way.

There is no bus service from the airport direct to the city.
