Intermedial Performance

This group will discuss a range of intermedial possibilities, transformations and/or issues at the interart juncture of live and recorded performance. We shall open up a forum to discuss the communicative systems of a range of art forms, which interact within the medium of performance. A media-saturated world has inevitably transformed traditional notions of performance and has inspired new perspectives and aspects of performance theory. The whole framing act of communication has been brought up to re-evaluation, since in intermedia transfer, more than one communicative systems are yoked together, but never solely into parity, or purely into rivalry. This is the exciting area which we are going to discuss and interrogate. There will be seminars and symposium/conference. Convener: Dr Clara Armand
