Hybrid Practices: Methodologies, Histories, and Performance
The School of Performing Arts is organising its 6th international annual conference on 13, 14, 15 March 2019 at the Valletta Campus. The conference will address the theme of 'Hybrid Practices: Methodologies, Histories, and Performance' -- it will consider hybridity in relation to the making, reception, and study of performance as practices that emerge from heterogeneous sources.
The conference will feature over 75 presentations from around the world, including keynote speeches by Prof. Anne Bogart (SITI Company and Columbia University), Prof. Nicola Dibben (Department of Music, University of Sheffield), and Dr Royona Mitra (Dance and Theatre, Brunel University London). There will also be a featured plenary panel by Prof. Scott deLahunta (Dance, Coventry University), Prof. Jennifer Parker-Starbuck (Drama and Theatre, Royal Holloway University of London), and Prof. Craig Vear (Digital Performance - Music, De Montfort University).
The conference will also include book and audio-visual publication presentations as well as details about a special issue of the Routledge peer-reviewed journal Performance Research on the subject of 'On Hybridity'.
The conference is convened by Prof. Frank Camilleri (University of Malta) and Prof. Paul Allain (University of Kent) under the auspices of 'Performance 21: Twenty-First Century Studies in Performance', one of the research groupings within the School of Performing Arts.
