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.
