PARTNER PROGRAM
PSi invites groups and organizations planning event(s) on a performance (studies) topic with an online presence to submit a partnership proposal. We are investing in taking the time needed to develop meaningful partnerships. PSi offers to promote approved partner events to PSi members, include them in our calendar, and provide the partner with access to other relevant in-kind resources. All PSi members are eligible to apply. That said, the program has capacity limitations and offers priority to Black, Indigenous, and Global Majority community members; collaborators of PSi’s conference hosts; and PSi’s Institutional Members. Visit the Partner Program HUB page to learn more.
STRATEGIC PLANNING INITIATIVE
The Hub, Partner Program, and Event Calendar are some of the initiatives deriving from a strategic planning process PSi’s Board of Directors undertook in the fall of 2020. PSi’s strategic objectives for 2021-2024 are to strengthen the inclusivity and community of PSi by providing opportunities for members and groups, distributing representation and curatorial agency, and working towards accessibility and anti-racist awareness.
PSi would like to recognize and thank the collaborators whose labour and visions made this release possible. The HUB and Calendar have been built by web designer Neil Christensen in collaboration with President Pil Hansen, and in consultation with several PSi officers. The Partnership Program and Event Calendar project were developed and are managed by PSi’s Distributed Curatorship Committee, which currently includes the PSi officers: Nilufer Gros, Jazmin Llana, Azadeh Sharifi, Eddie Paterson, and Jon Reimer and is assisted by Kath Blair.
Warm regards,
Pil Hansen, PSi President
