The interactions of performance, analysis, and artistic research have provoked debate at least since the start of the 21^st century. Differing schools of thought have in turn interacted with, castigated, and ignored one another. The time is ripe for a reappraisal of work implicating these three areas.   

We envision a symposium of international reach, featuring wide-ranging perspectives, diverse practices and repertoires, and approaches ranging from empirical studies and pedagogy to theory, improvisation, ethnography, and more. We aspire to stimulate engagement with controversial issues, opposing stances, and long-held assumptions in these fields.  

Program committee:
     Daphne Leong, chair (University of Colorado Boulder, United States)
     Jonathan De Souza (Western University, Canada)
     Cecilia Oinas (Sibelius Academy, Finland)
     John Rink (University of Cambridge, United Kingdom)

Local arrangements: 
      Leah Frederick, chair 
      Karin Buer 
      Abigail Kellems 

The symposium will be held at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. 
Boulder, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, offers abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation, as well as the cafés and shops of the outdoor Pearl Street mall—all within easy access of the university.
