CALL FOR STREAMS

CLC2026 invites stream proposals exploring the theme of PROTOCOLS, via three distinct modes, each with its own dedicated call: WORKS OF TEXT, PERFORMING BODIES and PROOF OF CONCEPT.

For logistical reasons, we ask that each session is defined as a particular mode, though streams can incorporate sessions in multiple modes. Sessions will be conducted in 2-hour slots: one or more performances per 2h slot (even in the form of workshops and discursive gatherings), one proof of concept exploration per 2h slot, or ~four texts per 2h slot. It may exceptionally be possible for sessions to span 2x2h slots, depending on timetabling constraints. Streams may present a brief glimpse of their discussions, prototypes, performances, and texts to the conference, if they wish (more details to follow).

Stream proposals should be sent to CLC2026@westminster.ac.uk by 27th April 2026.
