Word and Performance – Moving Knowledge Testing Frames 7th October

Antonia Pont (WLC) is coordinating a symposium on Thursday 7th October, 9.30 to 1.15pm. This is a culmination of the research/writing/pondering sessions over the last couple of months.

The symposium focuses on Word and Performance, a research community within the DML/Motion Lab…

WORD AND PERFORMANCE
This research theme considers how to bring language together with new modes of communication for new audiences. Through audio and visual capture, the research teams and projects growing from this theme will explore how most powerfully to disseminate storytelling, poetic and dramatic performance, improvisation, words-on-the-page from contemporary and historical periods across different kinds of audiences. This symposium is multidisciplinary, and several WLC members are engaged in presenting (see below).

Check out the flyer’s program or follow up queries about Word and Performance, by emailing Antonia ([email protected]). You can also click on the zoom link below for Thursday’s symposium…
