Call for Proposals for MAD THEORY 2: A Performance Philosophy Symposium
Madison Performance Philosophy Collective invites individuals and groups to propose lecture performances, experimental talks, live art, interactive installations, roundtable discussions, collaborative praxis-based workshops, site-specific work, durational work, relational aesthetics, and digital media at the intersection of performance and philosophy or theory and practice more generally. We welcome a diversity of approaches, styles, and methods. Some sessions may be more heavily weighted toward either scholarship or live art, while others may attempt to strike a balance or produce a hybridization between performance and philosophy. Regardless of a project’s format, an emphasis on participation – such as audience interaction or response structures – is encouraged.
Hello, all! I should explain my interest in this forum. Though I'm now a Theatre PhD in Ireland, I spent a fair few years in Madison working to make its community theatre a strong exploration of its local flavor and a site of experimentation (I was the ED of the Bartell, taking over just after it lost its primary funder and developing its volunteer and fundraising programs). In 2013 I took the opportunity to further my interest in immersive, agentive interaction in performance with a Master's degree in Europe and continue to pursue theorisation of this style through Deleuze and Merleau-Ponty in my PhD. While I'm grateful for the chance to do so, I am sorry I left before the Mad Theory conferences! Are there plans to develop a third?
