ABOUT:

The Two Thousand + symposia series, in its fourth edition in 2010, has established itself as a forum for contemporary critical exchange and discussion relating to the performing
arts.

Since 2006 the symposium has been running alongside the Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music in Belfast.

By focusing on a specific theme each year the symposium has brought together practitioners and theoreticians from fields as diverse as architecture, music, technology, dance, sound art,
drama, philosophy and cultural theory. The Two Thousand + TEN
symposium will focus on the theme of improvisation.

The Symposium is co-hosted by the European 2007 project CO-ME-DI-A (Cooperation and Mediation in Digital Arts) and will run alongside several days of showcase events/performances by COMEDIA partners.
