*This is a message to the PARIP discussion list. Please be aware that your replies will be sent to all members on the list, unless otherwise specified* THE CENTRAL SCHOOL OF SPEECH AND DRAMA UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Following the success of the Feminist Neo-Burlesque Symposium held on 23 October 2007 at The Central School of Speech and Drama, its Centre for Excellence in Training for Theatre, in association with the Roundhouse Theatre, is presenting a series of evening events to continue our critical thinking in this field. "Kleinkunst" Tuesday 21 April 2009 6.30 pm - 10.00 pm at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8EH www.roundhouse.org.uk <http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/> Ticket prices are £7/ £10 Papers, performances and critical debate on "low art" short performances in variety shows, vaudeville, cabaret, burlesque and other neo and hybrid forms. These events has come from an identified need to reconsider, produce discourses and contextualise the growing popular emergence of the various types of "low art"/short performances that take place in bars, clubs, festivals and other subcultural spaces across the UK. Such performance art practice draws on camp and other aesthetics, and aims to satirise, parody, steal, borrow, twist and subvert other genres of performance art practice for its own raucous, comic, edgy and controversial ends. Artists and speakers include: Cabaret artist Dusty Limits, neo burlesquer Cha Cha Boom, Kill Pussy, queer circus troupe Switch, male stripper and boi-lesquer Chris Davy, and trans performer Lazlo Pearlman. Other contributions will be from Gavin Butt who will think through "unserious" responses to "unserious" art, Claire Nally offers a post feminist response to the neoburlesque and producer Kath Moonan- Bird la Bird who will consider Queer femme subcultures. Set out in cabaret style, the invited audience will enter into a fantastically designed atmosphere that looks to picture the underworld of Kleinkunst. Audience members will be offered table service and are invited to get involved in discussion.
