PSI SUMMER SCHOOL #2.5

PERFORMANCES, SEMINARS, AND WORKSHOPS

The PSi Future Advisory Board calls for applications to PSi’s third summer school to coincide with PSi #25 in Calgary, Canada. PSi Summer School #2.5will bring together scholars, artists, and activists over the course of six days (July 2-7, 2019) and in an intensive series of activities directed at thinking through, working with, and creating anew pressing issues and rising trends in performance studies. As with our previous summer schools, the interval ‘.5’ in the title is a gesture to the temporality in which the summer school happens, in between conferences, but also, and perhaps more centrally, to the fertility of the unfinished, the incomplete, and the “not yet here” (Muñoz 2009). This edition will, therefore, take the themes of Network (PSi #24 Daegu) and Elasticity (PSi #25 Calgary) as the frame for our discussions. Further details will be available in the coming months.
Please direct inquiries and interest to PSi Future Advisory Board: psifuturists@gmail.com.
