The ASC 2019 Conference, running June 23 – 27, will include a varied program of sessions on the theme of Acting Cybernetically, including participatory ‘playshops’, installations and performances as well as traditional academic papers. Some of these activities will be featured in our special event: An Evening at the Fun Palace, inspired by the visionary work of Gordon Pask, Cedric Price and Joan Littlewood.
ASC conferences seek to feature research and evoke discussions that include more than one perspective or which are comparative, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary in conceptualization, scope, or design. Participants will have publication opportunities following the conference in special issues of academic journals and the possibility of inclusion as a book chapter.  All presentations and performances will be recorded for future use including in online education.
