This conference will ask participants to examine how space impacts the dramaturgy of the work, and how work lives, breathes, and evolves in different locations. For example, we will be discussing digital theatre, touring shows, cabaret, circus, online performance, outdoor theater, site specific work, burlesque, museum performance, installation performance, and more.Call for Proposals: December 1, 2021-March 15, 2022Watch our website and listserv for further information beginning December 1. “Performance Beyond the Proscenium” will seek proposals for conference sessions including panels, roundtables, workshops, performances, and other dynamic conversations. We are interested in engaging with artists from around the globe to explore ways in which dramaturgy and new work creation is practiced. For example, we will be discussing touring shows, cabarets, online performance, outdoor theater, site specific work, museum shows, circus, installation performance, and more.“Performance Beyond the Proscenium” will feature digital asynchronous content available from July 20, 2022, digital synchronous content on July 21, 2022, and an in-person gathering from July 22-24, 2022 in Philadelphia, the traditional lands of the Lenni-Lenape, some of which will be live streamed.Proposals for the asynchronous digital content and proposals for the in- person gathering will be accepted December 1-March 15, 2022, 11:59 PM EST.
