June 9–13, 2025n Cologne
Call for Papers for the Music Theatre Working Group
Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: January 15, 2025
We welcome papers relating to the general theme of the conference (Performing Carnival! Ekstasis/ Subversion/ Metamorphosis) as well as free papers on any aspect of music theatre.
The aim of the Music Theatre working group is to discuss a broad range of methodological and theoretical perspectives on all kinds of music theatre, from opera and musicals to contemporary experiments with new forms of music theatre. We are also interested in comprehending the role and function of music, sound, and movement in performance, in the broadest sense. The group brings together theatre scholars, musicologists, choreographers, and performers, as well as researchers from other disciplines. What our approaches all have in common is that they start from a notion of music theatre as theatre, performance and experience, always dealing with the interplay of sight, sound, and the body.
We invite existing and new WG members to submit papers on any aspect of music theatre, broadly conceived, or music and sound in performance, or the consideration of movement and dance in music theatre.
In keeping with the conference theme, we are also interested in a broad exploration of the relationships between music theatre and the carnivalesque, excessive performances, parody, satire, and transformation.
The Music Theatre WG is committed to an open and inclusive discussion of a broad range of topics in various stages of development, including work in progress. We particularly encourage graduate students and early career scholars to share their work.
For the Cologne conference, we welcome full-length papers of up to 3000 words that will be distributed in advance, as well as shorter contributions of max. 10 minutes to be presented at the conference. Please indicate in your abstract which option you prefer.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words and are due January 15, 2025.
All abstract submissions are made through the Cambridge Core portal. Please note that you must renew your membership or become a member in order to submit
Papers of up to 3000 words are to be submitted by June 1, 2025.
At the WG meetings during the conference, only a short overview of each paper will be presented (5–10 minutes) and the remaining time will be devoted to in-depth discussion (15–20 minutes). Short contributions will not be circulated in advance and will have shorter discussion time.
