Since the inaugural meeting, the Future Advisory Board has positioned the Summer School as an internal to PSi conferences, focusing on the space between each annual conference and the connections, overlaps and dissonances between conference themes. As a result
of the cancellation of this year’s Rijeka conference, and a consequence of the unfolding global pandemic, this year’s Summer School continues a durational format established last year, and forms part of <a href="https://www.psi-web.org/constellate/?fbclid=IwAR3A3p4S6Rxfj7CYqp7gJPXGXGnf5uJ0XO4930LdNze2d7PVoPkHiszKWiE" style="font-family:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;border:0px;outline:0px;color:rgb(43,121,124);text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.psi-web.org/constellate/?fbclid%3DIwAR3A3p4S6Rxfj7CYqp7gJPXGXGnf5uJ0XO4930LdNze2d7PVoPkHiszKWiE&source=gmail&ust=1620917013390000&usg=AFQjCNGpZJPXVdAQTxk3jE-TrrRr5Q44LQ">PSi’s <em style="font-family:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;border:0px;outline:0px">Constellate</em>,</a> a

Summer School #4.33 will take place online through a series of synchronous and asynchronous events, following last year’s format of weekly creative and critical prompts. The six week model provides a decompressed mode of learning, gathering, collaboration and
connection to limit fatigue and engage in slow processes and features a number of guest presenters. The Summer School aims to foster a collaborative, sustainable environment for conversation, creativity and critical inquiry and to pay attention together to
how our fields, research and practices are entangled with the current moment and its futurities. Participants are invited to engage with the wider PSi Constellate programme. </p>

We anticipate the Summer School will require a minimum of two hours weekly commitment, though we hope that participants will engage in self-directed activities and micro-projects while collaborating with the summer’s cohort. We encourage participants to connect
outside of pre-set times to gather and discuss. </p>

The Future Advisory Board (FAB) is a PSi initiative that aims to bring together graduate students and early career scholars and artists worldwide and increase visibility of the diversity of Performance Studies. We strive to foster an environment that is anti-racist,
unsettling, queer, feminist, creative, and intersectional, and that priorotizes diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity.</p>
