Oslo Metropolitan University, Department of Art, Design, and Drama is hosting this year Drama Boreale. The conference will take place at Campus Pilestredet, in the centre of Oslo. Some social events will take place elsewhere in the city. The conference will be arranged in cooperation with NLA Høgskolen, UiS, NTNU and Drama og teaterpedagogene.
With inspiration from Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, we want to present courageous voices, and appeal to the diversity of opinion:
'Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don’t I take a step and move forward?'
The program for the conference and a link to the registration form will be available soon.
Detailed program will be available as the conference approaches.
Conference fee: NOK 2700. The fee covers lunches during the conference and the banquet, as well as the conference program and content. The deadline for registration for the conference is 1 June 2023.

Call for paper
The conference aims at thematic diversity, and we want contributions on, for example, drama, health, empathy, vulnerability, democracy, sustainability, ecology, dramaturgy, in-depth learning, acting technique, movement, storytelling, performativity ...
Or maybe some “new” topics like gender, minority cultures and the like!Furthermore, the conference aims to embrace drama and theatre as part of the lifelong learning from childhood to old age. This involves a wide range of workshops, programmes, practice examples and practice narratives from kindergarten via school to the university sector, as well as arenas such as museums and libraries.
In addition to research-based papers, we particularly welcome artistic research among the contributions. Furthermore, contributions "straight from practice" are considered as an important part of the conference like drama in museums, dissemination in libraries, programs in primary schools, and the like. To clarify this, we have chosen to divide the format of the contributions into the following categories, all of which are delivered in the form of an abstract of maximum 300 words with the following information:
