CARPA 9 conference in 2025
The theme for the ninth international conference on artistic research is Ecological Design and Performance Pedagogies: Sustainable Practices and Interdisciplinary Acts in a Climate Changed World.
There are three strands running parallel in the programme:
1. Ecological Design Practices
The global ecological crisis calls for the exploration of new practices in performance production across areas such as set, costume, lighting, and sound. In this theme, focused on ‘Ecological Design Practices’, we are interested in how researchers, practitioners, educators and mentors have integrated sustainability into their processes.
2. Ecological Performance Making
The global ecological crisis calls for the exploration of new performance making practices across performing arts disciplines. In this theme, focused on ‘Ecological Performance Making’, we are interested in how researchers, practitioners, educators and mentors have integrated ecological thinking into their performance making processes. How is ecological thinking informing new works for performance?
3. Ecological Storytelling
The global ecological crisis calls for a rethinking of our relationship to the environment and how we tell stories that embraces a post-humanist approach. This theme, ‘Ecological Storytelling’, is interested in how researchers, practitioners, educators and mentors conceptualize the notion of ecological in relation to storytelling across various performing arts disciplines. In what ways can First Nations and other non-hegemonic knowledges (re)shape ecological theory and thinking in/through storytelling?
Throughout the conference days on Thu-Sat in Studio 534 there is a non-stop sound and video installation by Damien Ricketson, Diane Chester and Fausto Brusalimono running:
Listening to Earth is a sensory sound and video installation that invites audiences to listen and connect to their environment through sound. Created by sound artist Diana Chester, composer Damien Ricketson and video artist Fausto Brusamolino, Listening to Earth facilitates hearing the earth in ways that sit beyond our usual modes of perception. Exploring the vibratory interplay between sea and land, this deep listening experience positions the earth as a store of vibrational memory that, via an experience of heightened attentiveness, we may better understand what it has to say.
