Book Launch
FUTURE CONDITIONAL
NOTES FOR TOMORROW

The Editorial Board of The Open Page
Publications is delighted to invite you to the launch of Future
Conditional - Notes for Tomorrow.
The Open Page has always been
driven by the need to encourage theatre women to record their
experiences, whether working within the context of a group or
alone. The thirteen volumes of The Open Page journals and
the two books published previously, have given us more than we
anticipated: personal stories, gratitude for significant
influences, practice, pedagogy and, frequently, reflections on the
perplexing question of how to pass on knowledge and experience from
one group or generation of women to another.
This new book is an attempt to take a
step into the future, by asking where we are going and what we will
do when we get there. Contemplation of the future turned out to be
a difficult theme, and many of the authors expressed this
difficulty in their writing. Future Conditional - Notes for
Tomorrow is an anthology of essays, poetry and articles by
twenty-five women from four continents, all of whom are connected
to The Magdalena Project. The common aim, expressed in individual
ways, is to articulate the hopes and fears, demands and aspirations
for the kind of future that we want to share with each other. The
book is illustrated with paintings by Danish artist, Dorthe
Kærgaard.

Magdalena Project please consult www.themagdalenaproject.org
