What is Performance Philosophy? Staging a new field will be the inaugural conference of the new professional association, PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY http://performancephilosophy.ning.com/
The aim of this international 3-day conference is to explore the scope and diversity of research being undertaken by scholars and practitioners concerned with the relationship between performance and philosophy broadly construed.
Presenters at the conference include practitioners and scholars from a wide range of disciplines including Dance, Theatre, Music, Visual Art, Performance Studies and Philosophy and the conference includes practical workshops and performance-lectures as well as conference papers.
In particular, the conference aims to address a series of key questions:
• Is Performance Philosophy a ‘field’? If so, what are the parameters of the field – how might the field define itself?
• What is the relationship between performance and philosophy? Is performance a kind of philosophy and philosophy a kind of performance?
• How have performance and philosophy engaged with one another in the past and how are they engaging with one another now?
The conference is now open for online registration at http://store.surrey.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&catid=34&modid=2&prodid=92&deptid=75&prodvarid=0

The conference has adopted a tiered fee system designed to allow delegates with access to institutional funding to support the attendance of those who do not. There is a ‘waged’ fee for University staff and others in full time salaried employment, and an ‘unwaged’ fee for students and practitioners without access to institutional funding or a regular salary.
