The Iberian Voices Seminar Series is hosting a one-day symposium on "Performance in Theory in Early Modern Iberia and Beyond" at the Huntington Library.  “Performing in Theory in Early Modern Spain and Beyond,” is an interdisciplinary conversation among colleagues interested in the tension or gap between the immediacy of performance and the “stability” of what some have described as the closed off and finished academic text, or between performance/er and scholar/ship.  In short, where theory and performance meet in our scholarly work.

Speakers include Bernard Gordilla Brockman (UCLA), Álvaro Díaz (Universidad Autonoma de Baja California), Esther Fernandez (Rice University), Javier Irigoyen-García (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Elizabeth Neary (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Dianna C. Niebylski (University of Illinois, Chicago), Manuel Olmedo Gobante (University of Arkansas), and Jason E. Yancey (Grand Valley State University). EMSI events are free and open to the public.
