ABOUT
PSi is a professional association founded in 1997 to promote communication and exchange between scholars and practitioners working in the field of performance. The organisation has staged numerous international conference and festival gatherings that have moved between the discourse and practice of performance. PSi conferences have been held across the U.S.A. and the U.K. and in Germany, New Zealand and Singapore. For details of previous events see our history pages and its archive links.
The seventeenth PSi conference, Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience, took place in Utrecht, the Netherlands from May 25-29 2011, and was hosted by Theatre Studies at Utrecht University and the theatre festival Festival aan de Werf, in cooperation with the Faculty of Theatre at the Utrecht School for the Arts (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht – HKU).
The eighteenth PSi conference, Performance: Culture: Industry, will be held at the University of Leeds in the UK from June 27-July 1 2012.
Benefits of PSi membership include access to the ‘Members only’ News section of this website, and discount subscriptions to key journals in the field. We also encourage members to contribute to our ongoing research working groups and to participate in the structures of the organisation through our subcommittees.
PSi is always interested in developing proposals for new events and regional initiatives that will help to develop the international nature of the performance studies field. If you have a strong network of collaborators, good facilities and a proposal for an event we would be happy to hear from you.
