St. Francis College hosts Sixth International Conference on Consciousness, Theatre, Lit and the Arts
Dozens of scholars, academics and experts came to St. Francis College from as far away as Russia, the Middle East, Africa and Australia for the Sixth International Conference on Consciousness, Theatre, Literature and the Arts from June 10 to June 12.
More than 20 countries were represented at panels that covered topics including rebellious theatre; women in poetry, drama and prose fiction and consciousness.
Two performances highlighted the three day event. Aurelia Baumgartner, a German scholar known as the “dancing philosopher,” and others delivered a “finely crafted and choreographed performance that can only be described as art and music in motion,” said St. Francis English Professor and conference co-organizer Gregory Tague.
