Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience
Maaike Bleeker is Conference Director of Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience, the 17th edition of the annual Performance Studies international (PSi) conference. Camillo 2.0 is an initiative of the Theatre Studies department at Utrecht University and Festival aan de Werf, in cooperation with the Faculty of Theatre at the Utrecht School for the Arts (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht – HKU). Camillo 2.0 combines science, scholarly pursuit and art in a five-day program consisting of lectures, presentations of current research (both theoretical and practical), performances, debates, workshops, and ‘shifts’ (i.e., hybrid programmatic components introduced by participants or initiated by the organizers in order to pave the way for unconventional presentations). The goal is to combine the most productive elements of international theory while ensuring maximum interaction, thus highlighting cutting edge research, allowing for structured dialogues in unexpected shapes and formations, and making space for informal encounters between scholars and artists.
