About the event

Critical Now - Performance Symposium
The symposium brings together a range of artistic practices and perspectives in order to interrogate how live performance engages with the here and now. What happens in moments when the now exceeds a possible response, the urgency is greater than the means, when words lose meaning and are unable to perform? What is performance transformed to then?

During this gathering, participating artists and theorists will address current dilemmas through examples of practices and thinking collectively about what can be performed in today's political, social, ecological and ethical breakdown. Exploring the concrete spaces that performance can create as means of survival, mourning, and persistence, this symposium aims to contribute to navigating the present and afterlife of ongoing crises. In a time of fear, violence, and despair what are the possibilities of criticality and live performance?

When: Thursday 25 September 2025, 9.30 – 18.00
