[Commlist] Journeys Across Media Conference 2020

*Journeys Across Media 2020: Sharing Stories*

*A Virtual Conference from University of Reading, Wednesday 16th 
September - Tickets available now!*

/“Now more than ever, I think people realize the importance of public 
art. It has this capacity to bring joy, to bring wonder, to bring a 
glimpse of hope when you’re outside during this time that is so 
challenging and difficult.”/ – Artist Silvia Lopez Chavez speaking to 
News @ Northwestern.

The world may have changed but the human need to share stories has not, 
in fact it has become more important than ever and JAM 2020 seeks to 
reflect this in its first ever virtual conference. The act of 
storytelling involves a process of choice making – we choose the details 
to include and exclude, we shape narratives depending on who we share 
our stories with and how. Originally a live event, this conference is 
interested in exploring methods and approaches to sharing stories in 
theatre, performance, film, television, and literary practice.


It promises to be an interesting day, packed with varied research. There 
will be theatre workshops, installations, film essays, posters and 
discussions on:


  * Evolution of the modern sitcom
  * Visual Representations of Young Saudi Women in Britain
  * Immersive Storytelling and Postphenomenological Performance
  * Objects in Abbas Kiarostami’s filmmaking
  * Trauma in Eimear McBride's "A Girl is a Half formed Thing"
  * Home in the cinema
  * Food storytelling
  * Spatial exclusion of Black women in British theatre
  * Male gaze and Kuwaiti cinema
  * Lived experiences of Woodstock
  * Set design in Renata Pinheiro's "Love, Plastic and Noise"
  * Playable Performance and Interpersonal Storytelling
