Despite the slightly esoteric nature of its premise, the curators of Time Forms – Âé¶čAV professors Alanna Thain, Stephen McAdams, and Eric Lewis – made accessibility a goal when organizing the conference.

“We want not only everyone to be able to get in, but to feel like they belong here, too,” said Thain. The structure was also important. Time Forms was designed to counter the typical conference-style layout, in order to stress the inconsistent nature of time. The pace of activity was in constant flux: for one hour, a participator could be sitting down listening to a talk on multitemporalities, and the next, chasing a dancer down Prince Arthur.
