There is an evident interest in the papers submitted for this year in locating intersections between bodies, politics, events, media, and epistemology. The sequence of the papers has been selected intentionally in order to call attention to those affinities and also to show how different conceptual and geographic borders are constantly being crossed both between and within the articles.

The UCIPC funds graduate students to attend a retreat focused on professionalization in the area of international performance and culture. The retreats invite two students from each participating campus to submit an essay or chapter for detailed feedback. Three UCIPC faculty are involved in the week-long intensive event, and one invited faculty member from a campus outside the University of California system gives a keynote lecture. The structure of the retreat is based on the series of highly successful graduate retreats held in Helsinki, Finland. Students work in small group sessions with faculty members. All participants read the submitted papers, present short introductions to their own submission and receive substantial feedback. In addition, the whole group discusses significant new books in the field and watch video/dvd documentation of recent performance work. Discussions also take place concerning career progression, publishing, and the current state of the profession. Student response to these events speaks of a rewarding experience that is of substantial benefit to their careers.
