17–28 September In 2012 we have invited two prominent scholars who bring new perspectives to performance research, Prof. Jon McKenzie (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Prof. Jean-Marie Pradier (Université Paris 8). In the first week we will host a series of seminars with Prof. Jon McKenzie, the author of the influential book Perform or Else and one of the most important exponents of contemporary performance studies. The second week will include workshops with Prof. Jean-Marie Pradier, the founder of ethnoscenology, an original research perspective exploring cultural performance practices, especially in traditional cultures. Both our international guests will give open lectures. In addition to these semminars with Professors McKenzie and Pradier, we will hold lectures and presentations on Polish theatre and performance.
