Episode 2 of The Refrain: Getting in Sync with the World

Hi Performer-philosophers, the 2nd episode of The Refrain is now live. Here's the info and the link: Episode 2, Falling Apart, Falling Together, is about transformation. How do we become ourselves, what holds us together, and for how long? How are boundaries created, and how bounded are they? We take inspiration from Chapter 11 of the classic tome, A Thousand Plateaus, by French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Along the way we get some help from Kym Maclaren, Canadian phenomenologist and philosopher of intimacy. Link: https://www.fightwithastick.ca/podcast. Enjoy!

Workshop on Embodied Cognition and Dance (October 20-22nd)

Dates: October 20-22, 2023 With the advent of the 4E cognition research paradigm, cognitive science has seen a renewed interest in dance. However, much of the new cognitive science on dance does not interact with dance studies, the philosophy of dance, or aesthetics.

CFP: Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Performance

Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Performance Schizoanalytic Applications Series, Bloomsbury Press. Since the publication of Deleuze and Performance (2009), Deleuze’s philosophy has inspired a number of vital interventions in the fields of performance and theatre studies. Deleuze’s thought has also played an important role in the emergence of Performance Philosophy and continues to energise theory and practice across a range of disciplinary and vocational boundaries. However, relatively little research has taken an explicitly schizoanalytic approach to performance.
