> for one of either two conferences: the Int'l Conference on the 
> Fantastic in the Arts(March 24-28; Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA) OR 
> Popular Culture Assoc.(April 7-10; San Antonio, TX, USA).
> 
> My interest is in the various ways Rowling's books and characters 
are being staged. From schoolyard games, to summer theatre workshops 
for children, to classroom skits, to cabaret/musical theatre (I, for 
> example, put together a Hogwarts Musical for a theatre camp this 
> summer in which we performed both scenes and choreographed 
production numbers of filk songs). Both the staging itself and what 
this reveals about cultural differences would be of immense interest. 
> 
> Please tell me about experiences you have had-either formal or 
> informal - with staging Harry Potter and/or if you would be 
> interested in being part of a formal panel (Even if you cannot
