Colloquium on Artistic Research in Performing Arts
Theatre Academy Helsinki
13th -15th January 2011
The Performing Arts Research Centre at the Theatre Academy Helsinki invites artistic researchers at doctoral and post-doctoral levels to take part in the second biannual colloquium on artistic research in performing arts, which will focus on
ARTISTIC RESEARCH IN ACTION
CARPA 2 will take the form of a collective laboratory in which participants are invited to share their research as it takes place and unfolds. The colloquium will explore the borderline between artistic research and action research. According to our working hypothesis, an artistic researcher transforms his/her artistic medium into a medium of research. ‘Medium’ is here understood as both the means and the object of reflection. Artistic research can claim validity only through taking place in action.
Presentation can take the form of:
• installation
• experiment
• workshop
• performance
• rehearsal
• exercise
• discussion
• test
•
Call for presentations
We kindly encourage you to submit a proposal for presentation. Proposals should include a purpose statement, research topic or research questions, a description of the arrangement of the presentation and any practical requirements (space, equipment and so on).

Applicants will be informed of their acceptance by 15th September 2010 and asked to confirm their participation by 15th November 2010.
The purpose of CARPA is to contribute to the development of artistic research practices in the field of the performing arts and to foster their social, pedagogical and ecological connections.
