Playing in Time: Temporality in Performance and Performing Arts
Performance takes place in time and space. This symposium seeks to focus on the intricacy of temporality in performance by inviting submissions that address this theme in its many manifestations. At the International Vocal Arts Workshop, artists grapple concretely with issues of music and time—experimenting with tempo and pacing, bringing times past and future into the present, and interacting time with the performance narrative as well as the performance venues in the village of Grožnjan. We invite you to explore the corroborations and tensions between temporality and these and other aspects of the performing arts. We welcome papers and reflections from a variety of disciplines including theatre, performance studies, aesthetics, musicology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, literature, history, sociology, psychology, cognitive sciences, and physics. Possible topics may include:
- Immediacy and affect in performance
- Time perception: subject time and objective time
- Performing history in communities
- Musical temporality in literature
- Relationships between materiality and temporality
- Sound, music, tempo
- Synchronicity, simultaneity
- Ephemerality and documentation of performance
- Extemporization and improvisation in performance
- Music composition and choreography practices, structure and form, architecture
- Physics of sound, acoustics
- Processuality, instantaneity, movement, and immobility
Decisions regarding the status of submitted proposals will be made and communicated via email as quickly as possible following the submission deadline, and certainly no later than 1 June for papers and 15 June for reflections.
