<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style="">In the
spirit of the “SHIFT” component recently adopted as part of <i style="">Performance
Studies international</i>’s
annual conference, PERsentations (Performance-Presentations) are
collaborative
platforms – slots in the conference schedule that are reserved for
non-conventional investigation related to the conference theme.
PERsentations
are designed to accomplish a higher level of interaction between the
participants in the conference and especially between artistic and
theoretical
work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style="">A
PERsentation can accommodate a wide range of formats, such as various
kinds of
performative presentations, round-table discussions on performances
presented,
workshops, analytical work-in-progress showings, interactive events,
and
seminars. Normally, PERsentations will be either 2 or 3 hours in
length.
Alternative lengths will be considered on a case-by-case basis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style="">Each
PERsentation will have its own curator or group of curators. Members of
the
SDHS Organizing Committee can be consulted regarding conceptualization
and/or
organization, but all PERsentations should be independently prepared
and
conducted. Curators are responsible for securing their own financing,
if such
support is necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 17pt;"><span
style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17pt;"><span style="">PERsentations
will take place in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations in
Toronto.
Depending on the nature and the content of the proposed PERsentation,
the
conference organizers will decide which space is the most appropriate.
However,
PERsentation curators can request a specific location, and visual and
technical
information for each location will be made available online. Similarly,
the
organizers will work with PERsentation curators on the technical
support
required, and effort will be made to accommodate all reasonable
requests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
