Following on from the success of Mapping Spectral Traces IV international symposium, co-convened by Dr Nessa Cronin (Centre for Irish Studies, NUI Galway) and Dr Karen Till (Department of Geography, NUI Maynooth) in May 2011, we are delighted to announce that Mapping Spectral Traces V: Bodies – Space – Memory International Conference and Dance Festival will take place from 19-21 April 2012, Galway, Ireland.
This International Conference and Dance Festival marks the continuing collaboration between Ómós Áite, based at the Centre for Irish Studies at NUI Galway, and the Space&Place Research Collaborative based at the Department of Geography, NUI Maynooth, and is one of a series of events organized by the Mapping Spectral Traces International Network to take place in 7 institutions across 5 countries in 2011-12. For this year’s series of events in April we are delighted that Galway Dancer in Residence, Ríonach Ní Néill, will curate the dance and site-specific performance elements of the Festival, to extend discussions of the role of traditional and contemporary dance forms in Irish culture and society today. Dancing Days is the dance and performance strand of the events to take place over three days across Galway city and county. We are also delighted to have Ómós Áite co-convenor, Tim Collins, a musician and scholar of Irish Traditional Music Studies, part of the conference organising committee this year. A full conference programme will be announced shortly. |
