'''PSN2022: SIXTH INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES CONFERENCE '''

University of Surrey, UK 

Thursday 30 June to Sunday 3 July 2022

We are delighted to announce that the Sixth International Conference of the Performance Studies Network will be held at the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK from Thursday 30 June to Sunday 3 July 2022. This event is the postponed PSN conference due to take place in July 2020 at the University of Huddersfield, which had to be put back because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Surrey Organising Committee is very grateful to Professor Philip Thomas and his team at the University of Huddersfield for all their input to date.

The website includes details of the different registration packages available. We advise you to book your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. The final conference programme will be announced shortly and posted to the website. The conference website is located here: https://psn2022.wordpress.com And the online store (for booking registration packages) is here: https://store.surrey.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/fass-faculty-of-arts-social-sciences/conferences/performance-studies-network-sixth-international-conference-30-jun-3-jul-2022

The conference will include some 80 paper presentations, keynotes including one from Moss Freed and his improvising ensemble ‘Union Division’, a roundtable panel on post-pandemic performance and another from Surrey’s Institute of Austrian and German Music Research, and other events including a barbecue and a sit-down conference dinner. At the time of writing, we cannot be certain of the national and international situation as regards the pandemic, quarantine protocols, travel restrictions etc., but we will adapt to the changing situation as it transpires in 2022.
