21-23/09/2018 - Συνέδριο | 10o Performing the World (ΗΠΑ)

The tenth Performing the World (PTW) conference will be held in New York City, Friday, September 21 through Sunday, September 23, 2018.

These are very uncertain days. So much is, or seems to be, falling apart – nations and government apparatus, norms of diplomacy and civil discourse, civil society, the glaciers of the Arctic, and much more. Is there anything we can count on? Hold on to?

Such uncertainty brings fear, anxiety and despair. But it also brings opportunity and possibility. When things fall apart, something new -something other – can be created. The question is not so much what can be created but how? What is needed in order for people to see possibility, to imagine the inconceivable, and to take action? Can humanity seize the day?

It is from these questions that we come to the theme of Performing the World 2018. In order to see, imagine and create new ways of living, we need to develop. We need to qualitatively transform how we relate, think, feel, live and die. Thus, our call to action is Let’s Develop!

Let’s develop our world. Let’s develop performance activism. Let’s develop PTW.

Our theme addresses the need to develop performance activism as an essential tool in developing the world. Let’s develop, in both scale and depth, performance activism in community building, politics, institutional social change efforts, social justice and scholarship.

Proposal submission forms are available at www.performingtheworld.org Proposals are due February 15, 2018. If you need a visa to enter the United States, your request for housing or a scholarship cannot be acted upon until your visa has been granted.
