Performance Studies Network International Conference

AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice (CMPCP)

University of Cambridge, 14-17 July 2011

Call for Papers


CMPCP's Performance Studies Network will hold its first International
Conference at the University of Cambridge from 14 to 17 July 2011. The main
conference events will be held at the Faculty of Music, 11 West Road;
delegates will be accommodated at nearby Robinson College, where other
events will also take place. Professor Keith Sawyer will present a Plenary
Paper on aspects of creativity, and delegates will be able to attend a
concert by the renowned Endellion Quartet on Friday 15 July as well as other
performances scattered through the conference programme. On 16 July, a
conference dinner and 'Total Performance Event' will be held at Robinson
College.

Proposals are invited for individual papers, research reports, special
sessions, and posters on any topic in the field of music performance studies
which directly or indirectly addresses one or more of CMPCP's key research
questions:

* How is musical performance creative, and what knowledge is creatively
embodied in musical performance?

* How does music in performance, and indeed the very act of performance,
take shape over time?

* How does understanding musical performance as a creative practice vary
across different global contexts, idioms and
performance conditions (such as solo and ensemble, in the rehearsal
room, recording studio and concert hall)?

* In what ways is creativity distributed across the conventional
categories of composition, performance and improvisation?

The following areas are of particular interest to the Programme Committee:

* Methodologies for the study of live performance
* Ethnographies of performance
* Issues surrounding rehearsal
* Issues surrounding the performance of contemporary music
* Discourses about performance
* Performance in cross-cultural contexts
* Improvisation
* The teaching of creative performance


Duration of presentations

* Individual papers: up to 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of
discussion
* Research reports: up to 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of
discussion
* Special sessions: approximately 90 minutes in total, including
discussion
