Widening the River: Communicating Performance Research Beyond Scholarly Communities
Friday, June 10 – Saturday, June 11
This two-day symposium will be held at the University of Lethbridge (U of L, also known in the Blackfoot language as Iniskim) on 10 and 11 June 2022. It will gather scholars of performance, public historians, and artists from across Canada who share an interest in performance history and a desire to have their academic and artistic work reach communities beyond already established networks of academics and fellow artists. Through formal presentations, roundtables, and networking activities these presenters will exchange skills, strategies, and best practices gained in working with and disseminating research to the diverse communities they address, with an aim of building capacity among these scholars and artists. Participants will be exposed to a variety of media, practical approaches, and theories through which they can approach the dissemination of their academic and artistic work outside of University communities and beyond networks of scholars and fellow artists.
