PFS  Symposium  2015:  Practicing  Bodies,  Performing  Ecologies  

Friday, Oct. 9 2015: Della Davidson Dance Studio 2.15 – 2.30pm Welcome, Introduction, and Coffee

In an effort to reduce waste, we’re encouraging everyone to bring their own mugs for tea and coffee, and plates for dinners. There will be extras in case you forget or don’t want to schlepp materials from out of town, but we might ask you to scrub a dish or two.

2.30 – 4.15 Roundtable Presentations

Perform Yourself in 3 Minutes! For your presentation, you will have 3 min (no more) to share the topics, projects, and concepts that you have been working with. Of course this is not enough time, but it is enough to get a sense of our community and make connections between people who otherwise would not find each other. It will be rushed, funny, inspiring, and surprising. Make the most of it, but don’t stress. This is a performance. If you have slides, please submit ASAP.
