For those of you who aren't familiar with ReGen Who please check out their site here: (Re)Generation Who
Their guest list currently includes: Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Nicola Bryant, Sophie Aldred, Terry Molloy, Deborah Watling, Andrew Cartmel, Patricia Quinn, Nev Fountain & more. They have also scored an interview via Skype with Tom Baker!
Clay Dockery (smartpenguin78), Christine Evans (PondLife) and I have been working with the Con Staff to provide some content and as such the Order is going be very present at ReGen Who. We've arranged to have a table for the Order of Gallifrey at the Event.
In addition to the table, the following panels/events are being moderated or organized by one or all of us.
The Greatest Cosplay Show in the Galaxy: Come one, come all! Whether you're coming to show off your Doctor Who cosplay or you're in the crowd to watch your fellow Regenerators on stage, this non-competitive celebration of the great range of cosplayers at the convention is a can't miss event. Participants are are free to take a bow or perform a short skit and show off their work. We'll be presenting costumes in a time line style starting with the First Doctor and those tunnel-visioned Monoids and going all the way up to 12 and his arch nemesis Missy!
Cosplay Classicism: As cosplay becomes more mainstream, and costume pieces more readily available, our panel of experienced cosplayers will discuss new cosplay social trends and the need for inclusion and diverstity in nerd culture. This all-ages panel will include topics on how to cosplay on a tight budget, and a variety of other topics.
Cosplay Crash Kit: This panel of experienced cosplayers will discuss the art of traveling for Cosplay, especially if you have a delicate or ornate costume. From car pooling to TSA tips to tricks to get you there and around the Con floor in one piece.
Day of the Doctor & Cosplay Photo Meet-Up: We're looking to recreate that iconic last shot from Day of the Doctor. We'll be taking as many shots as needed so if you're there in costume we'll do our best to rotate everyone in. Femme Doctors, Companions, Gender Swap...everyone is welcome. Come and find that perfect match for your cosplay photo at this meet up.
Death in the Moffat Era: From Clara to Rory, to River to Jenny to Rory again - has Moffat's decision to bring back multiple characters made death in Doctor Who anticlimactic?
Gallifrey Squares: See cosplayers portray various Doctors, Companions and Who Baddies on a live, entertaining semi-scripted game show parody. Contestants for the show could be picked at random from the list of con-goers in the audience in a "Rod Roddy Price is Right" way. See the Game Show host wear a terrible 70s suit and swing around a long retro microphone with a tiny ball on the end while quizzing the "stars" on Doctor Who trivia.
The Legacy of Barbara: An in depth discussion of how Verity Lambert and Jacqueline Hill created the basis through which the agency (or lack thereof) of the companion has a major impact on the show and our understanding of the Doctor.
Talking 'Bout Regeneration: The rules of regeneration have always been murky at best and they became even more muddled when the Time Lords gave the Doctor a fresh set at the end of "Time of the Doctor". From a story perspective, was that a good move? How should future regenerations be addressed? And was this a missed opportunity to address the Doctor's mortality in a longer format.
If any of you guys are attending ReGen Who and any of these panels/events sound interesting to you let us know as we'd love to have people involved!
Specifically we're looking for cosplayers/actors to be the "celebrities" in Gallifrey Squares as well as additional panelists for any of the above topics.
