economic life. So as to allow delegates to engage with the
city in a broader sense, the Steering Group has designed the
Mobile Sessions programme. Delegates are invited to choose
which of these sessions they wish to be a part of. All sessions
will take conference participants to an interesting place inthe city where they will meet practitioners and producers.

GLASGOW 2014
THE CITY OF GLASGOWGlasgow is a city where grit and glamour collide where
beautiful architecture and green spaces sit alongside relics of
an industrial past. The cultural heart of Scotland, Glasgow
is a cosmopolitan, vibrant city, widely recognised as a major
influence on European art, design and architecture. Rich
with national and major museums, galleries and venues
to explore, host of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and aUNESCO City of Music, Glasgows rich cultural landscape is
a joy to explore.
THE GLASGOW MIRACLEThe term Glasgow Miracle was coined by lecturer Hans-
Ulbrich Orbist to describe the emergence of Glasgows
famously vibrant art scene, linked to graduates of The
Glasgow School of Art working in the city, establishing studio
spaces and artist-led galleries such as Transmission and
Wasps, and providing a network for others to do the same.
As a result, Glasgow offers a multi-tiered system of artist-run
spaces and more established galleries providing artists with
opportunities to exhibit at every stage of their development.

ROYAL CONSERVATOIRE OF SCOTLANDAs Scotland s nat ional Conser vatoir e, we are in a unique
position sitting at the very heart of Scotlands cultural life.
Eager to ensure we remain at the foref ront of performing
arts education, we have spent the last six years
redesigning our entire curriculum offer. Now, two years
into delivery of the new undergraduate curriculum, we
have re-identified ourselves as a conservatoire for t he 21st
century. Uniquely in the UK, we have the five performing
arts disciplines of dance, drama, music, production, andscreen all under one roof. This has allowed us to create
a curriculum which balances the demands of individual
disciplines, with opportunities for students to work
in genuinely inter-disciplinary ways. Our curriculum
also places value on artistic collaboration, on social
engagement and on Human Rights.
Ac ross al l of our specia lisms, we curr ently hav e arou nd
900 students on degree programmes. Our students
enjoy a dynamic learning environment and experience
an extraordinary blend of intensive tuition, professional
partnerships, performances and the creative space to co-
create across the disciplines on their journey towardsrealising their own individual artistic voice.
