About
The performing arts serve as a powerful medium for participation and engagement, and play an important role in social and everyday life, despite the challenges facing them. This conference brings together contributions – theoretical and practical, historical and current, in the performing arts (dance, theatre, music) and in related fields – in an interdisciplinary dialogue broadly themed around participatory practices in the performing arts, spectatorship and audience, and the dynamics of ‘engagement’ with communities, in education and in various civic and social spaces. Additionally, the conference explores the challenges and opportunities that arise when various sectors of the performing arts meet in collaborative processes.
