The Thematic Line Digital and Technological Performances of the Institute of Ethnomusicology – Centre for Studies in Music and Dance (INET-md) is organising its first International Colloquium on 5 and 6 November. The event, which is free of charge, will take place at the Department of Communication and Art of the University of Aveiro and invites researchers, artists and students from all areas of Music and Dance to attend.
The Colloquium is presented as a forum for discussion on the growing presence of digital and technological tools in these two artistic areas, exploring, from a critical perspective and on a practical and theoretical level, the implications, transformations and possibilities that these tools are raising in contemporary music and dance research.
The programme, to be announced shortly, will feature oral presentations, performances/installations and workshops, as well as keynote speakers Cláudia Martinho and Marcel Cobussen.
