In response to the theme of the Hyderabad conference in 2015, we propose the following questions: - dissemination, access, and privilege in digital performance - intermediality and the politics of public sphere - intermedial performance and representations of identity - intermediality and multiculturalism - gender and intermedial performance - digital performance and traditional theatre

The list is not exhaustive, and we are encouraging other topics that address intermediality, even if they do not directly refer to the conference theme.
