OPEN CALL!!!

Performance Philosophy School of Athens II  

Athens 23-24 September 2017  

Performance Philosophy School of Athens was a two-day symposium that took place in 2014 in E.D.W. in Athens in association with the international network Performance Philosophy. The symposium hosted workshops, performances and papers that focused on learning about performance philosophy and created various pedagogies in performance and philosophy. More information can be found at: http://performancephilosophy.ning.com/page/athens and at https://muse.jhu.edu/article/576891  

Performance Philosophy School of Athens II, another two-day symposium, organised by Stefania Mylona and Stella Dimitrakopoulou, in association with the international network of Performance Philosophy, will focus on Performance Dance (Mylona, 2017), performances that stand in-between dance and performance art or more broadly the visual arts world. The symposium invites workshops, performances and papers that examine the relationship between dance movement, visual art and philosophy. Some of the questions to be addressed are the following: 
 • In what ways do dance movement and the visual arts intertwine?
 • How do dance images make us think?
 • How does sculpture come into play?
 • How does the relationship between dance movement, visual arts and philosophy benefit or influence these fields?
 • What are the aesthetics of performance dance?
 • What might performance dance offer the emerging field of performance philosophy and vice versa?   We invite artists, choreographers, dancers and scholars both from the dance world and from the visual arts world to showcase their work, to offer workshops, performances or papers that address performance dance in relation to performance philosophy. 

Please send your proposals, to ppsoaii@gmail.com until the 31st of July.
