TaPRA 2025 Performance and New Technologies: Postdigital and AI Dramaturgies: Gen Alpha and the Politics of Care in Online Performance
Category: Event
We would like to welcome practice-based responses, provocations, lecture-demonstrations, and papers, exploring and reflecting on various readings, approaches and interpretations of the nexus between Posthumanism, AI dramaturgies, Gen Alpha, and the politics of care in mediated and online performance practices. Proposals may respond to, but are not limited by, the following prompts: Posthuman dramaturgies in the AI era Online performances as ecologies of becoming Politics of care in mediated/intermedial performance Performance cultures and Gen Alpha Hyperconnectivity in the experiences of AI- Natives Human agency within AI-driven technologies Performances of survival Transmedia performance/stages AI and performance Augmented reality Virtual augmentation Intersecting IRL and imaginative realities AI alternative spaces of imagination and artistic resilience Archiving online performance practices Proposals, if accepted, may be directed into a range of presentational formats, including traditional panels (with 20-minute papers) or performance-based panels. We also welcome alternative, practice-as-research or performance-based proposals that engage with the theme. As an alternative to a full paper, panel or practice research presentation, PG students who are in the early stages of their research may wish to present short ‘firestarter’ provocations (5 minutes) that can form the basis for wider discussion. While we encourage statements of preference, final decisions will be made by the working group conveners and will be indicated at the time of acceptance. The Working Group also warmly welcomes participants who do not wish to present this year.
