Interesting thing just crossed my desk. I've never attended, but the concept sounds intriguing:
A three-day "happening" of
performances, workshops, panel discussions, lectures, community tours
and improvisation. Performing the World 2008 (PTW '08) brings together
activists, artists, educators, young people, practitioners and scholars
from dozens of countries, all of whom are involved in the emergence of
performance as a new way of relating to, understanding and changing the
world. Open to all.
