PSi Constellate 2025
Join us in a transformative journey with PSi Constellate 2025, where international communities converge to share knowledge, foster innovation, and create lasting bonds.
About PSi Constellate 2025
Performance Studies international (PSi) is home to many communities that create, extend and enrich vital international relationships. These communities of exchange take many forms, such as the PSi Working Groups, the PSi Future Advisory Board (FAB), and the PSi Institutional Members among other ad hoc and emerging clusters. PSi Constellate first happened as a series of web-based events in 2021 when we could not gather because of the mobility restrictions of the pandemic. Among the definitions of ‘constellate’ is ‘to join luster; to unite (several shining bodies) in one illumination.’ PSi Constellate 2025 continues this program to enable a flexible framework for knowledge exchange, action responses, and other activities of PSi’s various communities in between the annual conferences, revealing constellations of shared interest, opportunity and interaction.
