The conference is open to all and free of charge. Registration is required.

 

The 21st century has brought about critical societal changes that arguably put pressure on some of the paramount tenets of performance pedagogy and practice during the 20th century. Transnational connections have enriched our practice with diverse cultural influences and techniques. But they have also shown that what was assumed to be culturally neutral training can have biases and exclusionary practices. 

Jointly organised by LASALLE College of the Arts, the National University of Theatre and Film I.L Caragiale, and the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, and with Routledge as our publishing partner, Global Connections: Performance Pedagogy and Practice will open the space to enable these and adjacent conversations with the hope of ushering global debates about the future of our disciplines.

Welcome messages

LASALLE College of the Arts is delighted to be hosting Global Connections: Performance Pedagogy and Practice jointly with UNATC in Romania and WAAPA in Australia. Pedagogies and practices have always been subject to change and evolution. Today, the pace of that change has intensified following a pandemic that led to a radical rethink of teaching and learning methods, while powerful evolving technologies are prompting urgent ethical and philosophical questions, and opening up new paradigms. We hope the conference will provide a fruitful time and space to interrogate these and other issues, share ideas and knowledge, and make real and lasting connections between colleagues and friends around the world.  

Professor Steve Dixon
President, LASALLE College of the Arts

The encounter of UNATC, LASALLE and WAAPA is about bringing people together – creating a community with educators, scholars, and artists who are convinced they can change the world through art. We aim to create an ongoing platform where teachers and students can share ideas, concepts, fears, questions, techniques and technologies. We have different continents, different backgrounds and different histories, but our common beliefs, common fights, and common dreams are brought together by music, theatre, and dance. In coming together for this event, we promote the pedagogy of empathy and perseverance as we encourage our students to connect and take ownership of this world.

Professor Liviu Lucaci
Rector, UNATC

On behalf of the WAAPA and Edith Cowan University, I am delighted to extend a very warm welcome to this remarkable event. As we prepare for an educational and training landscape that is undergoing immense change, it is important to ensure that the training and educational opportunities we provide are always inclusive, empowering, and enabling. Proud of our collaboration with LASALLE (Singapore) and UNATC (Romania), we are sure that Global Connections: Performance Pedagogy and Practice will provide a unique and rare internationally focused opportunity to reflect on contemporary challenges and debates.

About the conference
A message from the organisers


Welcome to our conference!

This is the second international conference organised by the Faculty of Performing Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts around the topic of performance pedagogy and practice. Building on the success of our first conference, titled Arrhythmia, the theme of Global Connections fast forwards us to a new era of collaboration and sharing of pedagogic, practice and research processes and projects.

Although we still glance in the rear-view mirror of COVID-19 and the impact it made on all our work and thinking, we are keen to focus straight ahead as we move rapidly forward. The structure of the conference itself is a microcosm of the way we have learnt to share and plan together between three partners in Singapore (LASALLE), Australia (WAAPA) and Romania (UNATC), in addition to students joining us from Ateneo University in Manila and visiting students and staff from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. We also welcome our publishing partnership with Routledge.

The event will include student projects and explorations, alongside the research of academic colleagues. We will explore new ways of working together, with newfound benefits of proximity and freshly discovered advantages of remoteness. The conference is open to all, as we hope that it will serve as a meeting point for colleagues around the world to connect and build together the shared futures of performance pedagogy and practice.

Keynotes
Josette Bushell-Mingo (31 May 2023, 12:30pm Bucharest / 5:30pm Singapore & Perth)


Re-evaluating and redefining performing arts training for the 21st century 

In this keynote address, Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE, Principal of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, will draw on examples from her career as an arts leader to examine whether current training models – so often embedded and resistant to change – are fit for purpose in the 21st century. The training landscape will be explored in a global context with an emphasis on accessibility, inclusion and well-being. Josette will consider how training might be reimagined and rebuilt to reflect contemporary values. The idea of “the cannon” will also be deconstructed, and the question of whether traditional training methodologies adequately support and prepare students for their professional lives will be considered.  Josette will argue that institutional changes are no longer existential threats but are now necessary and inevitable.

Sanja Krsmanović Tasić (1 June 2023, 1:00pm Bucharest / 6:00pm Singapore & Perth)


Teaching imperfection or how to develop humanity in the 21st century performing arts

The keynote will focus on the concepts of the 'unfinalisable self' introduced by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin as well as the concept and methodology of 'ecology of the soul' developed by the speaker's 40 years of active work in performing arts, both as an artist and pedagogue. Reflecting on the modalities of the world we live in, different examples of successful or provocative interventions will be presented that change the paradigm of what is expected and defined in performing arts pedagogy.

Part of the keynote will demonstrate ways in which the International Association of Drama/Theatre and Education (IDEA) as a worldwide association dedicated to drama/theatre and education serves as a platform for creating spaces of its own specific culture of internationalism, support and solidarity, as well as the new tendencies of UNESCO towards the 2023 Framework on Culture and Arts Education.

Musical keynote: Turbid Media (3 June 2023, 3:00pm Bucharest / 8:00pm Singapore & Perth)


Performers: Black Zenith featuring Lindsay Vickery and Andreas Schlegel

Turbid media describes tiny grains of matter naked to the eye clouding a liquid and refracting light. The performance Turbid Media uses the term as a metaphor for sound and visuals creating a multitemporal and reactive ecosystem caused by generating and processing source material. 

The performance will be presented as a musical keynote at the 2023 international conference Global Connections: Performance Pedagogy and Practice. The group features composer Lindsay Vickery (WAAPA), electro-acoustic duo Black Zenith (Darren Moore/Brian O’Reilly, LASALLE) and visual artist Andreas Schlegel (LASALLE), highlighting the collaboration between conference partners. The performance interfaces generative visuals with bass clarinet, electronics, drums, triggers and modular synthesisers. The group uses analogue and digital tools to explore rhythm on a micro and macro level as a fractal connector between acoustically and electronically generated elements.

About


24 to 31 May 2023

As part of the activities leading to the conference, LASALLE, UNATC and WAAPA have organised a series of in-person and telematic labs where students and staff from the three institutions come together to workshop new ideas about the future of performance pedagogy and practice.

Three groups will be working during this week in three distinct locations: Bucharest, Singapore, and in a telematic lab set up between LASALLE and UNATC. Working through the conference theme of Global Connections, faculty and staff will be exploring these questions:

  • How do we create a performance in the 21st century?
  • How do we teach with in-depth training in hybrid and intersectional spaces?
  • How do we continue to diversify and make performance accessible ?
