2015 Is One of the Only Juried Performing Arts Platforms Presenting Fully-Produced Pieces Created for Youth in North America PHILADELPHIA, PA JANUARY 21-25 1 . lst E R E D N A V T UR K BY O T O H HETPALEIS. P 2 WELCOME! On behalf of the IPAY staff we are happy to welcome you to Philadelphia for the 37th annual Showcase. Philadelphia has long been known as a place for meeting and exchange—not to mention revolution! It seems fitting that we gather here again, in one of the leading cultural cities in the United States and IPAY’s home base, to stir the artistic fires, develop professional cultural exchange networks, and share extraordi- nary performing arts experiences with new and old friends. IPAY Showcase 2015 is one of the only juried performing arts platforms presenting fully-produced pieces created for youth in North America. In addition to attracting dynamic and diverse artistic companies from North America, we continue to be enriched by the growing reach of our global platform in welcoming new and returning artists, producers, presenters, and cultural liaisons from Mexico, Australia, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Whether this is your first Showcase or you are a seasoned attendee; whether you are an artist, producer, presenter, agent, student, or all of the above; we welcome you and invite you to take advantage of all that this opportunity has to offer you, as well as to contribute what you can to make it a success. We hope that you find what it is that has brought you to Showcase and that your presence here helps to fulfill another community member’s purpose for being here. We look forward to seeing you at the performances, Kindling discussions, Cultural Spotlights, receptions—and more. Welcome and thank you for being with us.

Please join us at Showcase 101 for an overview of the next few days’ events, along with some useful tips to help set you up for a great conference. Wednesday, January 21 8:00 am-9:00 am Doubletree Hotel – Orchestra Room Throughout the conference, IPAY Ambassadors will be available to answer questions, direct you to the next event, and offer general assistance. You can identify Ambassadors as the one’s wearing American Flag bandanas! 4 FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am so pleased to wel- come you to Showcase 2015! Our 37th annual signature event holds much in store for all of us. If you are a first-time Showcase attendee, I bid you a spe- cial welcome. My own first Showcase was in 2006, and it’s not an overstatement when I say that IPAY was a game- changer for me. Non-members, it is my hope that, upon your return home, your Showcase experience will lead you to join all of us—artists, presenters, producers, artist managers, and others—who are proud to support the organization year- round. Philadelphia is the official home of IPAY, and as such, it is a pleasure to return to our organizational home town. While the Avenue of the Arts serves as our Showcase neighbor- hood, we’re not the only game in town, so be sure to check out some of the city’s great restaurants. During the conference, if you are at all uncertain as to where to go, or if you have any questions whatso- ever, look for the IPAY Ambassadors. Anyone in this all-volunteer group will be happy to help you. Showcase is a marathon, not a sprint, so if you plan on attending every Spotlight and every performance— and we hope you do!—take your time and make the most of it. Say hello to people you don’t know. Meet new colleagues and renew old acquaintances. Our community is about relationship building, learning from one another, and of course, serving as the focal point in North America for the best in performing arts for young people. My sincere thanks to our hard-working Board of Directors, our dedicated Committee members, and our talented staff. Here’s to a thrilling, productive, and inspiring four days! Best regards, Peg Schuler-Armstrong President, IPAY Board of Directors 5 IN MEMORIAM The IPAY community mourns the recent passing of Maranne Welch. 1937-2015. Maranne was one of the founding members of Showcase and IPAY and was the Executive Director of the Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater for many decades. Her visionary leadership, generous spirit, and wonderful laugh will be greatly missed. We dedicate Showcase 2015 to the celebration of her spirit and the great contribution she made to our community and thousands of children. 6 IPAY & SHOWCASE SUPPORTERS IPAY would like to thank our donors, whose generous gifts help support the organization and its initiatives, including Showcase.

It interrogates a series of artistic practices – traditional, postdramatic, participatory – with the aim of proposing a possible dramaturgy of arts for the very young. Practice typically precedes theory in new fields of performance. TEY currently lacks a coherent theoretical framework or dramaturgy, instead drawing on interdisciplinary strands of psychology, pedagogy and existing dramaturgical practices from older forms of theatre for children. This study explores artists’ embodied knowledge as a repository of skill, while also recognising external factors that impact on creative production, from belief systems to training, the search for funding and the struggle for recognition. Using Grounded Theory as a method to analyse interviews with 26 leading Scottish practitioners, this project undertakes a qualitative investigation of current practice in the devising and production of performing arts for very young audiences.
