The symposium signals the inauguration of the cross-disciplinary and interartistic Blind Date Arts Lab @ CUT founded by Dr. Adonis Volanakis. The lab researches the interweaving of visual arts with contemporary dance, experimental theatre, poetry and music, and focuses on community-based social sculpture and contemporary art in the public sphere. It promotes the University’s connection (students, teaching and administrative staff) with the broader public and the artistic community. What. Symposium Performance Dates 2021 invites distinguished Cypriot and International artists and theoreticians in a lineup that includes lectures, artist talks as well as discussions with practicing performance artists originating from the visual arts, contemporary dance and experimental theatre, with an interactive discussion with the audience. As a collective body of performance which includes artists, theoreticians, historians, academics, students, audiences and cultural managers, we are often invited to negotiate and to explain what Performance is. How do we define and understand Performance as a concept and as praxis? What are the arts we can locate it within, and through which humanities does it engage in a dialogical discourse? How is it connected with communities and the public sphere? Why? Whilst the last decades have seen a rise in Performance Arts in the Cypriot art scene, one could wonder what needs, themes, tactics, or questions draw the artists in this form of art, which suggest the reflection of the relationships between body, space and the coexistence with the viewer/collaborator in contemporary art. Which is the space of Performance? What is audience specificity? Are Performance Arts accessible to the general public? Is it a political act? A protest? An embodied communication? Is it self-referential or critical? What is its positionality today within a society saturated by spectacle and digital imaging? How does site-specificity define the audience's experience? Which platforms are supportive? Finally: What is not Performance? | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/24973 | Type: | Other | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology |
