Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience
Sigrid is one of the conference managers for 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.

Intermediality in Theatre and Performance
This is an IFTR working group on Intermediality in Theatre and Performance. Sigrid is currently co-convener of this working group. Members examine theatre and performance in the context of other media from an intermedial perspective. Working from the idea that theatre provides the staging space for intermedial performances, the group examines the proliferation of texts, medial spaces and intermedial relationships created when the live medium of theatre and the performing arts intersect with cinema, television and, in particular, digital technology more>>
