Call for papers
Envisioning the Practice
International symposium on performing arts curation
Extended deadline: 15 June 2013
A seminal event in the field of the performing arts, conceived by the Arts Curators Association of Québec (ACAQ), and hosted by the PHI Centre and the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Envisioning the Practice will be held in Montréal, Canada on 10–13 April 2014. The symposium is sponsored by Tangente, and collaborating partners Studio 303 and S.A.T. (La Société des arts technologiques) will offer programming for this special event.
Envisioning the Practice strives to create further parameters and grounds on which to foster theories and critical thinking about the practice of curating the performing arts through the presentation, discussion and publication of academic papers on related topics.
This symposium brings together proponents of recent critical and practice-based discourses on curating the performing arts (dance/movement, émergent practices, interdisciplinary forms, media arts, music/sound, theater/text-based) in order to enrich, structure and theorize the practice of curating in the field, with an interest in best practices.
Curators (institutional, independent, artist-curators, critic-curators, etc.), artists, artistic directors, programmers, presenters, producers, arts administrators, art historians, art critics, scholars and university students are invited to submit proposals about issues concerned with the current practice and new methodologies of performing arts curation.
