ABOUT US
We are a community of interdisciplinary performance practitioners made up of faculty, students, artists and affiliate researchers united by the desire to collaborate.
Our research-creation areas include participatory performance, collaborative creation, sound and music, oral history performance, intermedia performance, technologies, dramaturgy, contemporary circus, amongst many more.
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.

ChampdAction.LAbO is an annual and international 10-day laboratory in Antwerp for artistic creators of all disciplines, ethnicity and gender with an openness and curiosity for transdisciplinary work.
2022 EDITION
Every summer since 2019 (with one exception), LePARC has attended LAbO with a small cohort and cluster co-director Angélique Willkie to participate in the creation lab at the deSingel School in Antwerp.
