Call For Papers:
Arts University Bournemouth Online Symposium: Costume, Scenography and Critical / Cultural Theory, May 31 2023.
The BA Costume and BA Performance Design and Film Costume courses at Arts University Bournemouth would like to invite practitioners, academics and PHD candidates to submit proposals for one-hour lecture presentations linking Costume, Scenography and Critical / Cultural Theory.
Each year we welcome a range of academic and professional speakers with backgrounds in theatre, performance and film who are interested in presenting to our second-year BA students at an annual Symposium. This year’s event will take place online on May 31, 2023.
The Symposium seeks to offer students a range of practical, historical, political and theoretical perspectives with regard to their Costume and Scenography practice and to inspire and to prepare them for their research-based dissertation writing.
Proposals are sought for presentations that make practice-led links between critical / cultural theory and Performance Design, Scenography, Costume Design and Costume Interpretation, with a particular focus on issues of:
• Gender and Sexual Identity, (we are particularly keen to develop our students’ understanding of the relationship between dress and Transgender identities).
• Race, Ethnicity and Interculturalism, (we are particularly keen to develop relationships with costume and performance designers and makers from Global Majority backgrounds who can contribute to our efforts to de-colonialise our curriculum).
• Spaces of Performance: Design for Site Specifics, Indoor and Outdoor performance.
• Ideology and the Politics of Performance: (Costuming Resistance, Protest and Political Identity).
• The Performing Body: (we are particularly interested in contributions focusing on costume that challenges ableism with regard to performing bodies and presentations that consider the relationship between dress and (sub)cultural identity.)
• Ritual, Carnival, Festival and Play. (Immersive Festival design, processional crafts and large scale puppetry
We have a budget available for speakers.
