Call for Performance Proposals
Interrogations: Creative Interdisciplinarity in Art and
Design Research
AHRC Postgraduate Conference, De Montfort University &
Loughborough University,
1st and 2nd July 2009, Loughborough University, School of
Art and Design
The conference addresses various aspects of
interdisciplinary approaches in Art & Design research, as
well as practical and theoretical methods for interlinking
with other disciplines. The objective is to explore
interdisciplinarity as a new trend that brings together
different disciplines, forging new connections and
contributions to collective knowledge. Ultimately, the aim
is to promote and encourage interdisciplinarity as a way
to enhance creativity in research.
This conference aims to address the challenges and trends
of interdisciplinary research that contributes to art and
design. We are inviting performance proposals as part of
the conference programme, as well as formal presentations
(deadline 16th of January). It is hoped that the
performance event will embrace an eclectic mix of works
communicated through a variety of forms: any visual,
sound, spoken word, music, short plays, dance, design,
film, multi media, digital projects and other performance
medium or methods of expression involving
interdisciplinarity as a way of transferring ideas and
stimulating creativity across disciplines.
The event will take place on the first day of the
conference, after the sessions. Limited sound equipment as
well as video and slide projectors are available. Artists
are responsible for installing and removing their
performance materials on the day of the performance. Each
performance running time will be 25 minutes.
If you would like to be considered, please send a
proposal, one page maximum description of your idea,
including your contact information, a brief description of
the performance, special equipment or space needed. The
proposal should detail the project, its production, how it
engages participants and any technical requirements.
Please be as specific as possible. You may submit your
proposal via email or digitally on Compact Disk or DVD by
28th February 2009. Send materials or enquiries to:
