Hello,

Were planning a networked performance conference for Spring/Summer 2006
and invite you to play a role in its development.

Weve set up a blog on the Turbulence web site
(http://turbulence.org/blog) where you can describe your performance
activities, and give us your perspective on what the important issues
and challenges are in networked performance today. We hope to obtain a
wide range of perspectives and uncover points of mutual relevance that
will help build the content of the conference.

The conference will bring together practitioners and scholars from all
forms of networked performance–distributed Internet performance
(including dance-, theater-, and music-driven works), avatar theater,
online performance art, multi-user gaming performance, mixed reality
performance, and other hybrid forms.

Multiple institutions and organizations will play a role: New Radio and
Performing Arts, Inc. (NRPA), a not-for-profit media organization and
parent of Turbulence.org; Emerson College, Boston; and California State
University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB). We plan to work with additional
organizations that will commission and/or host performances during the
conference.

So visit the blog. Tell us who you are. Give us your URL(s) to post in
our links section and the dates of any upcoming networked performances.
And please tell anyone you think might be interested to join us.

Looking forward to an exciting discussion and conference,
