The paper will be due on 15 May >>> 2010 and any papers submitted after this date will be excluded from the >>> Working Group. 3. A maximum of 12 papers will be selected. 4. All papers >>> will be available to Working Group members on a secure web site. 5. Three >>> groups made up of up to three core Working Group members (those who have >>> been involved in the Working Group for a period of atleast one year) will be >>> invited to communicate with one another to begin to develop performative >>> responses to the papers, across the whole range of possible formats >>> (workshops for participants, performances, improvisations, multi-media >>> experiences). These might be based around concerns raised across papers, >>> topical/thematic groupings, or individual or small group critical responses. >>> 6. During the Working Group meeting in Munich, these performative responses >>> will be presented for and together with, the full Working Group present and >>> improvisatory responses to them will take place as part of a dialectic >>> process which will be facilitated by group members. 7. The above process >>> will be documented by the group. 8. An important part of the remit of the >>> Working Group has been to encourage newcomers to the international >>> performance as research debate to engage with the core group's research >>> processes. Therefore, in addition to the 12 participants whose papers are >>> selected a further 10 places will be open to attendees who have not >>> participated in the working group before but will be at the conference and >>> who wish to participate in the Working Group meetings. This will make space >>> for new or more recent members to partake in the work. Applicants who wish >>> to be considered for one of these 10 places should submit a brief CV and >>> statement of interest in Performance as Research to the convenors by 31 >>> January 2010. 9. In addition to the Working Group sessions described above, >>> Annette Arlander will convene a panel in the Main Programme on behalf of the >>> Working Group entitled: "Exhausting modernity - repetition, time and >>> generative processes". This panel is open to core group members only (those >>> who have attended at least one conference Working Group meeting). Those >>> people making panel presentations will be expected to attend the working >>> group and participate in the activities. If you wish to be considered for >>> this panel please indicate this clearly at the top of your application and >>> submit your abstract of maximum (250) words to Anna Birch ([log in to unmask] >>> <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) in English or French by: 31 January 2010. 10. >>> All accepted contributors will be asked to take on roles in managing the >>> development of the responses and the exchanges about the papers in >>> preparation for the meeting. >>> ______________ To join, leave or suspend list postings, visit >>> www.scudd.org.uk/list <http://www.scudd.org.uk/list> ______________ >> ______________ To join, leave or suspend list postings, visit >> www.scudd.org.uk/list <http://www.scudd.org.uk/list> ______________ > > ______________ To join, leave or suspend list postings, visit > www.scudd.org.uk/list ______________ ______________ To join, leave or suspend list postings, visit www.scudd.org.uk/list ______________
