Another day at the International Research Center, today there was a morning talk by Gay McAuley, a scholar who has written on Aboriginal traditions as well as other aspects of Australian performance culture. Provoked a lively discussion.

Quite interesting. Will be going tonight to the keynote address by Marvin Carlson for the conference "Politics of Space: Theatre and Topology". Will have to meet up with the other fellows; evidently it's rather far from the University, the Institute for Cultural Inquiry. One thing: Berlin (right now) is a mecca in terms of art funding. What that means in terms of art is anyone's guess.
