Poster Presentations
Poster presentations are displays on poster boards. Instead of a board, poster presenters can request a table to display objects including models, devices, or artwork. Poster board presentation may not be larger than 40" high and 60" wide.

Presentations may be prepared on poster board in advance. Foam poster boards (40" x 60") will be available. Pushpins needed to put your presentation on the poster board will be provided (a room for poster assembly will also be available).

Presenters must be available to discuss their displays during their assigned poster session. A few specifics on the poster boards include: posters must be readable from at least three feet away, the presentation title must be at least two inches high, and beneath the title, the name(s) of the student author(s), faculty advisor, and home institution must be at least one inch high. SCCUR reserves the right to cancel a poster presentation if the above requirements are not met. See Presentation Guidelines for more specific information on how to prepare a poster presentation.

Oral Presentations
Oral presentations will be 15 minutes in length with three additional minutes allotted for a question-and-answer period. This schedule will be strictly enforced. See Presentation Guidelines for more specific information on how to prepare an oral presentation.

Performing Arts/Visual Arts Presentations
Performing Arts/Visual Arts presentations are considered Oral Presentations since they are executed in the same format: up to 15 minutes for a performance with three additional minutes allotted for a question-and-answer period. Performing arts presentations may include creative activities in music, dance and theater, and visual arts presentations can be done in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, video and film. The number of abstracts accepted in the performing arts or in the visual arts may be determined by available space.

An abstract is required for presenters in the performing arts or the visual arts. The abstract for the performing arts should describe the performance. The abstract for the visual arts should describe the visual art research question, methodology, and outcomes. Artwork must be of a serial nature. In addition to submitting an abstract, those in the performing and visual arts will have to submit additional materials that are outlined in the presentation and submission guidelines for each arts category:

Music
Participants may perform in one of the following categories:
(A) Original composition
(B) Composition in the style of a specific musical period, style, or composer
(C) Arranging
(D) Performance
(E) Lecture recital
(F) Research and/or analysis

Resources available at Cal State L.A. include playback for cassette/CD (in a classroom setting only) and a piano. For categories A, B, and C, students must submit a full score (or significant portion of a score if work is in progress) plus a cassette cued to the performance. A full score must be available at the time of the presentation. For category D, students must submit a cassette cued to the performance. For categories E and F, students should follow the standard SCCUR format. Name, school, address, phone number, title, composer, and type of musical instrument(s) must be attached to the submitted cassette.

Dance
Participants may perform solo and as a small ensemble (up to four dancers) in modern dance, jazz, or ballet. In addition to the abstract, students must submit a videotape cued to the performance.

Videotapes should be mailed to SCCUR 2007, Office of Graduate Studies & Research, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Dr.,Los Angeles, CA, 90032.

Theatre
Participants may present monologues or scenes (up to five actors). In addition to the abstract, students must submit a script (and cued videotape of performance, if possible).

Scripts and videotapes should be mailed to SCCUR 2007, Office of Graduate Studies & Research, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Dr.,Los Angeles, CA, 90032.

Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, Ceramics, and Other Applied Arts
In addition to the abstract, students must submit six slides or transparencies of their work, completed or in progress, and an artist’s statement. For three-dimensional work, two views of each piece should be included. If slides or transparencies are not available, participants can send a PC-formatted disk or CD of digital scans of their work. No original work should be submitted. Please include the name, title of work, medium, dimensions, and date for each piece of work submitted. Slides, transparencies or scans should be mailed to SCCUR 2007, Office of Graduate Studies & Research, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Dr.,Los Angeles, CA, 90032.

At the conference, all studio artists are required to give an oral presentation, complete with slides or transparencies and/or a PowerPoint presentation. Slides, transparencies or scans can be used to cover the historical progression of the work and ideas as well as visual connections with other artists.

Video and Film
Video presentations must be on one-half-inch VHS tape, and film is to be 16mm only. In addition to the abstract, students must submit a videotape or film. Attach name, school, address, phone number, and title of piece to the submitted videotape or film. Videotapes or film should be mailed to SCCUR 2007, Office of Graduate Studies & Research, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Dr.,Los Angeles, CA, 90032.
