IFTR Scenography Working Group – INTERIM EVENT 2019 – Call for Proposals
Dear members
Dear members of the IFTR Scenography WG, past and present,
We are delighted to announce we will be holding an interim meeting in Prague between the main IFTR conferences, timed to coincide with PQ’19. We will be hosted by the Department of Theatre Studies of the Faculty of Arts at Charles University, and we are adopting the main PQ themes for our meeting. Our event is not part of the PQ programme, but we hope for a productive alignment between the scenographic thinking and activity of PQ and our own!
The call for presentations is attached, and we have included the text below in case you cannot access the attachment. Please note the short deadline for proposals, and that although you don’t need to be a current member of IFTR to submit a proposal, you do need to have a current membership at the time of the event.
We hope to see as many of you as possible in Prague!
Best wishes,
Nick and Sofia
IFTR Scenography Working Group Symposium
Interim Event
Friday 14th June – Saturday 15th June 2019
Hosted by the Department of Theatre Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University
Prague, Czech Republic
The Scenography Working Group is convening a two-day symposium for members to share their research in the context of the largest event in the scenographic calendar, the Prague Quadrennial.
We are inviting proposals that relate to the artistic vision of PQ’19 – the cyclical phases of the creative process: Imagination (“youth’s wild instinct and intuition”), Transformation (“the experience of adulthood”), Memory (“the wisdom of age”).
We are looking for proposals for 15 minute presentations linked to these themes.
Timed to coincide with PQ’19, the symposium is kindly hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy at Charles University. There will be no charge to attend the symposium, but you must be a member of IFTR at the time of the symposium (see www.cambridge.org/core/membership/iftr for details). The only additional costs to participants will be related to travel, accommodation and subsistence.
Proposals should be a maximum of 300 words and clearly identified in relation to one of the three areas:
scenography and imagination
scenography and transformation
scenography and memory
Proposals should be sent to both co-convenors of the SWG, Nick Hunt and Sofia Pantouvaki:
nick.hunt@bruford.ac.uk and sofsceno@gmail.com
Deadline for proposals: 29th March 2019
Acceptances confirmed by 15th April 2019
