Practitioners, academics and PHD candidates are invited to submit proposals for a one-hour lecture presentation linking Costume, Scenography and Critical / Cultural Theory.
Each year BA Performance Design and Film Costume at AUB welcomes a range of academic and professional speakers with backgrounds in theatre, performance and film who present to our second-year students at an annual Symposium. This year’s event will take place online on May 31, 2023.
The Symposium offers students a range of practical, historical, political and theoretical perspectives with regard to their Costume and Scenography practice and prepares them for their research-based dissertation study.
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 keen to develop our students’ understanding of the relationship between dress and Transgender identities).
• Race, Ethnicity and global dress cultures: (submissions from costume and performance designers and makers from Global Majority backgrounds are particularly welcome).
• 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: (costume and design that challenges ableism / 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.
Deadline April 10, 2023:
Please send abstracts to:
