>organizers to
>explore the potential of performance for personal, organizational and

>social-cultural change. Over forty sessions (conversations, panels,

>can read
>about it at www.performingtheworld.org.)

>Since then, performance-based practice and theory have grown in
>recognition
>and popularity worldwide. Today, there exist hundreds of programs in
>scores
>of countries, disciplines and areas of life that utilize or study
>performance
>as developmental and transformative. In addition to helping the
>individuals
>they reach, such programs speak to the growth of a movement to
>reinitiate the
>relational, the communal, the creative, the developmental drive of
>human
>beings. Performing the World 2 is being convened to support and
>expand this
>international, cross-disciplinary community.

>Audio-visual and other needs (you can use the form provided)
>Contact person info (name, affiliation, postal address, telephone,
>fax, email

>To emphasize the performative, we want to encourage a playfulness
>with regard
>to presentations by having some of them delivered in more than one
>presentation mode. For example, a panel of speakers might present
>their work
>and then—on the spot or with some minimal conceptual and rehearsal
>time—volunteer audience participants would present it as a
>performance piece.
> Conversely, a staged performance might be presented and then recast
>as a
>lecture, again by volunteers. Please indicate on your proposal if
>you are
>interested in having your presentation played with in this manner.
