Ingvartsen makes performances that “stimulate the intellect and organizes conferences that appeal to the senses.” *The Permeable Stage* will feature artists, theorists, filmmakers, and activists in dialogue about relationships between humans, technologies, animals, plants, etc. The conference begins at 1 pm with an introduction by Ingvartsen and a short film, *Donkey With Snow*, by Romuald Karmakar. At 1:15, Annie Dorsen will perform from her 2010 work “Hello Hi There,” and an interview with Dorsen on technology and algorithms in performance will follow. At 2:15, Patricia T. Clough will give a lecture on “Post-Phenomenological Subjectivity and Datafication,” and at 3:15, Isabel Lewis will host a celebratory gathering “using choreography, music, spoken address, and storytelling in ways that allow for conversation, contemplation, dancing, listening, or just simply being.” At 5:15 Ingvartsen and Carolee Schneemann will come together for a conversation, and following, Che Gossett will take the floor for a lecture titled “Abolitionist Entanglement: Blackness, Palestinian Struggle and the Limits of ‘Solidarity.'” Finally, the conference will close with a DJ set by Isabel Lewis. Whether you can make it to just one or several of the *Permeable Stage* events, this is sure to be an enlightening conference that’s certainly worth attending. **When:** Sunday, October 7, 1:00–9:00 pm **Where:** Performance Space New York, 5782, 150 1st Avenue, 4th Floor, East Village, Manhattan
