Association for Asian Performance 25th Annual Conference In-Person Conference
at Hunter College, New York, Tuesday-Wednesday, July 22-23, 2025
The Association for Asian Performance (AAP) is delighted to invite submissions for its 25th Annual Conference, to be held in person on July 22-23, 2025, at Hunter College, The City University of New York. The event will take place during the week leading up to the annual conference of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE), which is scheduled as a virtual conference from July 28 to August 1, 2025.
Proposals are invited for papers, panels, workshops, roundtable discussions, and other formats. Learn more about AAP, and our annual conference, at https://www.asian-performance.org/.
The deadline for proposals is 6pm (EST), Friday, February 21, 2025. Proposals for the following formats are welcome:
Individual Papers on topics related to Asian performance. Proposals for individual papers should include an abstract (max 250 words). Individual presentations should be limited to 20 minutes so that there will be time left for questions and discussion. Visual materials (slides, video, etc.) are strongly encouraged.
Panels composed of three paper presenters and one discussant or four paper presenters. Proposals for panels should provide a brief statement (250 words) that explains the session as a whole, a list of titles and a 50-word abstract for each paper, and biography of the discussant (if applicable).
Roundtables offer an opportunity for participants to discuss specific themes, issues, or significant recent publications. A maximum of six active participants is recommended. While a roundtable proposal need not be as detailed as a panel proposal, it should explain fully the session’s purpose, themes, or issues and scope (250 words), as well as provide a list of committed participants.
Workshops by performance practitioner(s) with expertise in specific Asian performance traditions are welcomed, particularly workshops that overlap with a panel theme or paper presentation. Workshop proposals should include an abstract (350 words) describing the workshop and any technical or space considerations. Workshops should be designed to run no longer than 80 minutes.
All proposals should include the following:
Title of panel, roundtable, workshop, or paper.
Names of all presenters, including chair and/or organizer and discussant (for panels and roundtables), and a few biographical sentences about each presenter.
Affiliation, specialization (field/region), and e-mail addresses of all participants.
Explanation of the session (for panels, workshops, and roundtables); abstract for each panel presentation or each paper.
Please submit proposals by filling out this form. You may also contact Hayana Kim (kim.9202@osu.edu) with any questions, ideas, or for help finding collaborators.
