'Women and Circus': An Interdisciplinary Conference
Date: 27 - 28 November 2009
Place: Zagreb, Croatia
About the conference
In late November 2009, The Festival of Contemporary Circus will be organized
in Zagreb, Croatia. Already for the 5th year, the festival attracks great
attention from audiences as well as media. The organizers are trying very
hard to enable development of the "circus scene" on the margins of "Western
Europe" and have, by now, sucessfully met the expectations. Apart from
ensuring quality artists and performers, the festival aims to investigate
different aspects of social life, so that every year new "theme" is being
questioned, discussed and represented through performances. Last year's
festival was dedicated to the notion of "family". This year we are focusing
on woman's position, representation and role in the circus arts and / or in
the circus community. Beside searching, shaping and re-shaping the position
of women through the performance, we decided to organize an accompanying
two-day conference on which "Women and the Circus" would be widely discussed
by researchers and students from various fields as well as female artists
who would share and debate their experience as performers.
There is no fee to participating the conference. To contributors,
accomodation, food and travel expenses will be covered by the organizers.
