<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;">The Performance Studies international (PSi) Artistic Research Working Group (ARWG) welcomes proposals for its 2024 gatherings as part of <b>PSi #29: Assemble</b>. The annual conference takes
place <b>20 – 23 June 2024 </b>at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, London, UK. The Artistic Research Working Group will hold <b>two online sessions</b> prior to the conference (<b>19 April and 3 May</b>) in addition to <b>two in-person sessions</b> in
London at the time of the conference. We invite old and new members of PSi and the working group to join either or both of these assemblies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;">As noted in the conference general CFP, “To assemble has multiple meanings: to gather in one place for a common purpose or to put together the parts of something … In response to the COVID-19
pandemic, the climate crisis and global struggles for justice and recognition, we have to reconsider how to assemble, how to come together, to build, to imagine, to co-create in hostile conditions, and, conversely, what we need to disassemble, to take apart,
to dismantle, to decenter, to unlearn.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;">The ARWG invites artist-researchers from all corners of the globe to embrace this complex theme and join us for sessions that foreground interaction, participation and collaboration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><b>In-Person sessions</b> will take advantage of the rich local artistic ecosystem and focus on opportunities for sharing with artists and artist-researchers from London and the surrounding
area in the ARWG’s established format of the “Porous Studio.” (Details of these gatherings are still being put in place.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><b>Online sessions</b> will follow the ARWG’s established “Perform/Respond” format, in which participants <b>present/perform</b>a current or recent artistic research project on the first day
and then <b>respond</b> to another participant’s offering <i>through their own practice</i> on the second day. The emphasis in this year’s iteration for both the initial presentations and the subsequent responses will be on opportunities for participation
(including active physical participation) afforded by the offerings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;">We invite proposals related to a current, recent or envisioned artistic research project, to be submitted by the deadline identified below. Selected participants will be invited to submit a
more detailed project description accompanied by links to online support materials (video, audio, photos, text, etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
