Call for Papers



Theatre and performance arts remains one of the primary public venues to discuss the power and the faults of technological mediation. This conference aims to provide a framework for interpreting new levels of meaning generated by evolving technologies in performance, especially amongst interdisciplinary and cultural communities.



The second focus point of this gathering will be investigating the place of technological, performative and language based mediations between people and the state, specifically in the situations of asylum seekers, refugee claimants, and other forms of personal interactions with authorities.



Our featured guests include Sarah Bay-Cheng, George Seremba, Nicole Nolette, Katharina Pewny, Joel Beddows, Anne-Marie Ouellet, Art Babayants and SpiderWeb Show collective:
