Welcome to ecite09!
It will take place at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, near Liverpool in the North-West of England, 2.-10.7.2009. There is place for +/- 80 participants.
Ecite09 will celebrate diversity. In experience, teaching-style, age, aesthetics, interest… We would like it to be an event where we can inspire each other and ourselves in our diversity through different forms of exchange.
Exchange has been a keyword in the ecites of the past 14 years, and it will be again this year, in the fields of teaching, current research and performing.
In putting together the programme we are looking at what forms will allow depth in our exchange and are appropriate for ecite now. CI is growing throughout Europe, and is taught and applied in a large variety of places, from academic settings to festivals to therapeutic situations. Festivals and international workgroups become more important as places to meet, practice, learn and exchange. The number of teachers grows, making for larger differences in age and experience. As organisers we take a close look at ecite's place within these developments. For the programme this will mean a larger variety of exchange-forms, ranging from pre-planned activities to 'open' time.
Forms of exchange we propose are:
classes on things we are passionately engaged with
study labs
one on ones
talks / discussions
lectures and lecture demonstrations
public interviews
videopresentations of work done
co-teaching
