Performance Research
Volume 14, No. 3 (September 2009) 'On Dramaturgy’
Issue Editors: Karoline Gritzner, Patrick Primavesi and Heike Roms
CALL FOR PAPERS
Within a rapidly changing landscape of contemporary theatre and performance, the roles, functions and working conditions for dramaturgs are being redefined. The institutions of opera, dance and theatre keep certain cultural traditions alive by offering a platform for new interpretations. Yet the audiences are changing, in particular their knowledge of such traditions and their habits of perception. In established as well as in experimental theatre, dramaturgy needs to develop strategies to implement aesthetically and culturally ambitious projects despite difficult conditions of production and reception.
What are dramaturgs doing within an environment that is no longer bound exclusively to a dramatic text and its author; within a working situation that becomes more and more collective; and within a creative process that may include performance, dance, and media art as well as a critical reflection on the politics of space and representation? What institutional pressures and pedagogical expectations are involved in the theory and practice of dramaturgy today?
Following the international conference “European Dramaturgy in the 21st Century”, held in Frankfurt/Main in September 2007, this issue of Performance Research interrogates contemporary dramaturgy as an expanding field of practices and skills, problems and strategies. It seeks to explore the pedagogical and institutional aspects of European dramaturgy and asks how and where the changes in dramaturgical practice actually take place.
The Issue Editors invite contributions that address any or all of the following areas:
-current developments and changes in European theatre and its consequences for dramaturgical work
-practices of dramaturgy in fine arts, film, music, dance, performance and media art, and interventionist work of all kinds
-dramaturgical work as a collective practice
-approaches to teaching dramaturgy in academic institutions and art schools
-national and international networks for dramaturgs
-dramaturgy responding to and challenging the needs of established institutions
-the practice of dramaturgy in relation to a politics of representation
-the relationship between dramaturgical practice and the audience: dramaturgies of/for the spectator
'On Dramaturgy’ invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit critical articles, documents, or artist's pages that reflect on the challenges that contemporary forms of theatre and performance impose on dramaturgical practice.
Deadlines for the issue 14:3 are as follows:
Proposals: January 9th 2009

Finalized material: May 4th 2009
Publication Date: September 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS
Performance Research
Volume 14, No. 4 (December 2009) 'Transplantations'
Issue Editors: Ric Allsopp & Phillip Warnell
'In body, one hears at the same time border and order: the order of a real, physical exteriority, only equalled by material impenetrability. A body is penetrable only from the perspective of one kind of reasoning, either that of assimilation or its opposite, destruction.' Jean-Luc Nancy
Notions and practices that correlate with ideas on the transplanted form encompass a range of perceptions, activities and interventions traversing the formation of bodies, their somatic dimensions and constitution. They conceive of the body as a corporeal, spatial, cultural and social being, along with thoughts on bodies as being space producers, sphere inhabitants or bio-technological interfaces. Using the term 'transplantation' itself, along with other trans related points of departure and modes of exploration - transposition, translation - this issue of Performance Research invites contributions that highlight connections and insights into the guises and zones of transplantation, providing links and ideas on the stretching, rendering and formation of the decentred, displaced, denatured or amalgamated body: whether partial, singular or plural in form. The issue Editors are seeking contributions that are situated within the thematics of each or all of three interrelated areas:
Guest/ host relationships; The possessed body - disguise and ventriloquism in performance; Intimate distances or the distance of intimacy; Implanted objects and technologically augmented functionality; Ingestion and extraordinary forms of eating; Psychic and physical fragmentation - the séance as a place of travel and channel: of departure, arrival, spectacle, transmission and reception between beings and worlds; Archival extraction and mobilization (including re-enactments); The psychology of phantom and detached limb behaviour (beheadedness?); The aesthetics (and representation) of embodiment and its affects [...]
Historical, medical, symbolic and ritual use, storage and preservation of organic material and its associated material culture (Canopic jars, organ transporters); The symbolism and sacred role of body part removal: such as castration, removal of the tongue and eye; The camera as an external organ; Visible supplements – the consideration of auras, halos, charisma etc; Immaterial agencies and modes of contamination - radioactivity or viral forms [...]
Spatial organisation and disputed territories (transplantation and bodily construction in horticulture and its forms, allotments, hybridisation); displacement and the ethics of place; Aloneness and placelessness; The in-between, lacunae and production of space; Post-colonial approaches to ideas and histories of plantation and the transplantation of cultures and peoples; Remote presence and shared forms of perception; Conceptual and geographic displacements of art works and institutions [...]
'Transplantations' invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit proposals for critical articles (between 2,000 - 6,000 words), documents, interviews, artist's pages or other forms of contribution which position transplantation in relation to the contexts and discourses of contemporary culture, and to expanded and open concepts of performance, performance-making and artwork.
Deadlines for the issue are as follows:
Proposals: 26 January 2009
Draft manuscripts: 24 April 2009
Finalised material: 22 June 2009

8. EVENT: Lilith Performance Studio present Ewa Rybska & Wladyslaw Kazmierczak (Sweden)
DATE: December 6, 2008: Source: Lilith Performance Studio
On December 6, Lilith Performance Studio presented a new performance work by Ewa Rybska & Wladyslaw Kazmierczak.
Please visit our website to see documentation, films, artist interviews and more: www.lilithperformancestudio.com
Lilith Performance Studio is the first combined production studio and arena for performance in Europe. Since the start in January 2007 we have presented more than 30 artists from Denmark, The Philippines, Fi! nland, The Netherlands, Indonesia, Iceland, Canada, Norway and Sweden in 13 solo productions and one festival.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Ewa Rybska and Wladyslaw Kazmierczak, from Poland, are two of the most prominent performance artists in the world. They have since the seventies produced performance and made hundreds of pieces all over the world.
For artists Eva Rybska and Wladyslaw Kazmierczak, performance ”is an attitude towards the world and oneself, not towards art”. They look upon performance as a struggle to express momentous and significant ideas, and in their work they do not avoid or hesitate being political. Their performances enlighten and irritate questions surrounding ideologies from Stalinism (To be or not to be a Cosmopolitan) to techno music (Ecstasy). The performance presentation is explosive, with a childlike curiosity and humour in direction of a personal definition of freedom.
Wladyslaw Kazmierczak (b.1951) Lives in UK. Educated at the Academy of fine art in Krakow (Painting dept. 1971 – 1976). He started with performance art in 1974 became as a pioneer performer in Poland. Kazmierczak has made over 200 performances all over the world. He was also the Director of the Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art in Slupsk / Poland (1991 – 2006). He has curated and organized the International Performance Art Festival „Castle of Imagination” Poland, USA, UK, and Germany during 1993 - 2006.
Ewa Rybska (born in 1958) Lives in UK. Educated at College of Art and Design, Minsk Mazowiecki, Poland. She has Co-organized the International Performance Art Festival Castle of Imagination Poland, 1993 – 2005. Rybska worked as curator at the Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art in Slupsk / Poland, 1989 – 2006. Rybska has made over 130 performances all over the world.
