After ten years of collaborative research at the International Research Center “Interweaving Performance Cultures” at the Freie Universität Berlin, the Center’s closing conference, entitled Dynamics of Interweaving Performance Cultures, will be held from 21-24 June 2018 at the Akademie der Künste Berlin. Its primary goal is not to dwell on the Center’s past achievements but to open up new perspectives and stimulate innovative research on past and present processes of interweaving between performance cultures around the globe. 

With Dynamics of Interweaving Performance Cultures, the International Research Center “Interweaving Performance Cultures” seeks to consider globally shifting conditions of performance making, to identify overarching themes and topics, and to create a new dynamic in international scholarship on performance—especially by proposing ‘epistemological interweaving’ as a new methodology.

The event will be held in English language.
