UCIPC Dance/Devised Theatre Graduate Student Retreat, UC Davis, December 5-6, 2009

elliott — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:22:06 +0000

The UCIPC funds graduate students to attend a retreat focused on professionalization in the area of international performance and culture. The retreats invite two students from each participating campus to submit an essay or chapter for detailed feedback. Three UCIPC faculty are involved in the week-long intensive event, and one invited faculty member from a campus outside the University of California system gives a keynote lecture. The structure of the retreat is based on the series of highly successful graduate retreats held in Helsinki, Finland. Students work in small group sessions with faculty members. All participants read the submitted papers, present short introductions to their own submission and receive substantial feedback. In addition, the whole group discusses significant new books in the field and watch video/dvd documentation of recent performance work. Discussions also take place concerning career progression, publishing, and the current state of the profession. Student response to these events speaks of a rewarding experience that is of substantial benefit to their careers.

Actions of Transfer: Women’s Performance in the Americas

elliott — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:00:50 +0000

This four-day event, co-sponsored by the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, included performances and invited speakers along with round table discussions and workshops. It brought together women performers/activists from throughout the Americas and scholars who think about performance as a mode of embodied transmission and social intervention. The event explored issues of indigeneity, gender and sexuality, transnational/global encounters, labor, domestic violence and access to material resources. Actions of Transfer is was held as a sister event with the inauguration of Centro Hemisférico/FOMMA, a joint research/cultural center and performance space in Chiapas, Mexico, which took place in San Cristóbal de las Casas on August 28-29, 2008.
