The Music and the Body series is designed to inform contemporary and historical music-related questions concerning ritual and dance; display and gesture; gender and sexuality; and perception and memory. Through our choice of speakers and our active promotion efforts, we hope to draw audience members from Cognitive Science, Gender Studies, Theater and Performance Studies, and Anthropology. We also expect to attract members of the university and local communities who are interested in the social, physiological, and psychological aspects of contemporary musical practices. With this diverse group of speakers, we intend to inspire wide-ranging discussions focused on the intersections of performance, reception, ethnography, and the body.

Unless otherwise noted, all colloquia take place at 6 p.m. in room 315 of the Orwig Music Building on the Brown University campus. The series is open to the public and free of charge. (To request special services, accommodations or assistance for this event, please contact Ashley Lundh as far in advance of the event as possible.)
