OUR MISSION
Interdisciplinary Hub - Performance Practices - Collaborative encounters
The Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) is a community of researchers within the MILIEUX Institute for Arts Culture and Technology at Concordia University, with a mission to investigate performance practices by facilitating collaborative encounters through interdisciplinary hub.
LePARC artist-researchers study the positive transformative impacts of performance practices on individuals and societies, and develop creative theories, methods, technologies, perceptual strategies that strengthen these impacts.
The core of our members’ work is to question and advance their creative practice through collaborative encounters and interdisciplinary conversations. Faculty, students, and an international network of artists and scholars, expand the creation, presentation, and articulation of encounters between performers and audiences.

EI 2022: Call for Participants
Deadline April 10th
"Embodied Interventions" is a venue for interdisciplinary experimentation, collaboration, and the sharing of new performance-based works in two parts: a laboratory and a showcase.
INSTRUCTIONS
We are proposing three roles within Embodied Interventions:
-
showcaser (project or presentation almost done, not needing additional collaborators and wanting to share publicly),
-
instigator (seed idea or partial work, needing time and collaborators),
-
collaborator (wanting to join in creative development and explorations).
You can be more than one, but we will limit cross-over between groups for scheduling ease and covid safety.
IMPORTANT: Discussions and visits of the spaces with the organizers will happen the week of April 11-15 to help us better understand the needs of your projects. Please make sure you are available at least one afternoon that week to speak with us.
Fill out the Call for participants by April 10th to participate in this incredible whirlwind of a creative residency and public presentations!

Please be in touch if you have specific concerns about COVID safety accessibility and any other form of accessibility during the residencies and showcase weekend. We’ll do our best to support your needs.
If you are unfamiliar with the LePARC spaces, stop by EV 10.765 at some point during these times and we’ll show you what we’re working with!
