Call for papers: Staging Sustainability—Arts Community Culture Environment
How can we produce art that reflects, celebrates, critiques and advances the cultural life of our community without contributing to the destruction of the setting that inspires these artistic endeavours? The goal of the Staging Sustainability conference is to create an opportunity for artists and those who support the arts in a myriad of ways—from scholars, critics, producers and designers to policy-makers, industry and government—to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue about the issues and challenges associated with the creation of environmentally sustainable arts practice and performance.
Call for papers: About Performance #11: In-between Moves
The 2011 issue of About Performance is dedicated to writing about moving. Collected under the sub-title of In-between Moves articles in this issue will deal with hybrid practices and motion as their primary concerns; motion in or across forms, places, times or bodies. Guest editors Amanda Card and Justine Shih Pearson are interested in articles that address the cross-cultural, the inter-disciplinary, the trans-national, the cross-genre, the inter-generational and/or the transitional in relation to everyday/extradaily movement and/or dance.
