LAPSody 2011 is a conference and
festival that explores and questions ideas about perception, embodiment,
transformation and encounters. Peculiar angles pertaining to cycles of
popularity (acceptance and norms) in performance, academia, everyday
life, and art are considered from various positions. The aim of LAPSody
is to form and sustain professional networks, which address
sustainability of Live Art practice in the globalised world today.
LAPSody 2011 is curated by Suvadeep Das, Christina Georgiou, Sari TM Kivinen, Katariina Mylläri, Ilka Theurich and Tuuli Tubin.
Producers are Johanna Autio and Maria Kaihovirta. Stage managers are Selmeri Saukkonen, Vesa Rämä and Heikki Rosti.
