Pushing Form: Innovation and Interconnection in Contemporary European Performance

Keynotes: Sodja Lotker and Milija Gluhovic

How does the present reality of European theatre and performance challenge traditional assumptions? And howspecifically does formal innovation provide the space for critiques of power that may rework the concept of ‰ÛÏEurope‰۝ as realizedthrough performance? How has performance responded to neoliberalism and globalization in the wake of the most recentworld economic crisis, and how does its specifically European context set the terms of this response?

This conference queries what it means to define the field of European performance.
