We are delighted to announce that the eighth Annual Conference of the School of Performing Arts, University of Malta, will take place online on 23, 24 & 25 March 2022.
The conference considers performance through its mediation, particularly in reference to the technologies, communities, and spaces imbricated in contemporary and historical performance practices. Mediation is here conceived in its broadest sense, encompassing both the physical and digital media of technological (re)production and the mediation between performer and audience, event and community, participation and spectatorship. This conference brings together scholars and practitioners in dance, theatre, and music, undertaking work on the conception, transmission, reception, theorisation, and study of performance. Mediation thus occurs at the interstices of disciplinary practices, necessitating an approach that combines methodologies from the arts, sciences, and humanities.
