Theatres of Science:
crossovers and confluences
An Interdisciplinary Conference
University of Glamorgan
Pontypridd, Wales, UK
8-11 September 2004
Call for Papers and Workshops
The 'Theatres of Science' conference will address some of the many
exciting
and innovative ideas and practices taking place at the intersections
between
drama/theatre and science.
We are concerned with an eclectic field ranging from plays about
scientific
issues, to theatrical biography, from public dissections to scientific
lecture-demonstrations, from performance art interrogating science to
drama in science
museums, amongst many others. Key questions are: how can different
knowledge
systems and ways of understanding and/or describing the world be
brought into
confluence or conflict to produce new meanings, insights and
experiences? What
are key approaches, challenges and obstacles in arts/science
collaborations?
How are we to conceptualise notions of science and/as performance?
The focus for papers and workshops is likely to include - but is not
limited
to - areas such as:
* Plays dealing with scientific issues, themes, histories and
personalities
* Performance that engages with, is inspired by, or challenges
science
* Collaborations between artists and scientists
* Science as performance
* Radio & Television drama and science
* Science on film
* Ethics and Experimentation
* Drama/Theatre, Science and Education
* Science Communication and drama
The conference is aimed at academics, artists, scientists, teachers,
researchers, writers, performers, and educationalists. It is envisaged
that the
programme will include a combination of formal papers, practical
workshops,
discussion groups and performances.
Length of presentations:
Papers: 20 mins + 10 mins for questions and discussion
Workshops: 90 to 180 mins
Proposal requirements:
* An abstract of no longer than 300 words
* Title
* Type of presentation (paper, workshop)
* A short biography
* Technical requirements
* Contact details
* Institutional affiliation (if applicable)
Closing Date for proposals: 19 March 2004
Proposals can be submitted via post or e-mail (as a Word attachment)
to:
