http://people.brunel.ac.uk/dap/artaudforum.html
Registration is now open!
This symposium and performance laboratory initiates a series of annually
held research events at Brunel University¹s Artaud Performance Centre.
Bringing together an invited group of international theatre and dance
artists, filmmakers, photographers, art theorists and researchers engaged in
creative practices that reflect on major innovative performance traditions
of the past century and their impact on current performance knowledge and
physical (or physical-digital) techniques. The first instalment of the
ARTAUD FORUM is dedicated to the memory of Kazuo Ohno and the complex
convergences/differences between Japanese and Western performative methods.
The symposium-workshop is composed of dialogue and performance practice,
intermixed with live dance, film screenings and a photographic exhibition.
The ³Workshop Words,² as the late Kazuo Ohno called reflections on his
practice, will be published by the Centre for Contemporary and Digital
Performance.
The featured participants will provide important stimulus to the conference
from various perspectives, informing and challenging our thinking about the
conference theme.
Participant observers are welcome to enrol for a £60 conference fee (£45
concession). The registration fee includes access to workshops, buffet
lunches (Monday and Tuesday) and dinner (Monday) along with tea and coffee.
