International Seminar. Performing arts practice as research. Barcelona, May 26-28, 2010

Research on performing arts should be understood as a work of exploration that has its aim on the stablishment of original conections and aplications on the scene, from the coexistance between the academy and the profession, and trough the invention and generation of new ideas and their application on work methodologies. 

These meetings, Performing arts practice as research: tendencies and methodologies (1990-2010), will open a new perspective to the question, stablishing and strengthening at the same time networks between Spain and Latin America.
