Through March 28th Through July 29th Through August 31st Ongoing Ongoing September 6-7, 2007 The relationship between the theatre and painting is a traditional but complex
one. Artists are often drawn to the performing arts, finding in them
inspiration for their work. In addition, many artists have often worked in the
theatre; designing sets, costumes, etc.
This conference aims to explore the relationship between European painting and
the performing arts over the last three centuries. The period covers the
development, and growth, of the modern theatre and the advent of film and
television.
Papers are invited from postgraduate students on the following themes:
depictions of performances and performers; artists as actors in theatre, film
and television; the representation of the artist on stage and screen; painters
as designers for stage and screen; the role of narrative, gesture and the
concept of the ‘spectacle’ in painting; artifice in theatre and painting; the
creation of narrative and character in painting and on stage and screen; the
different ways in which viewers/audiences experience and respond to paintings
and theatrical performances.
Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited. Proposals should be no more than 300
words, and should include name, position and institutional affiliation.
