-Maska symposium's basic project is the ''Seminar of Contemporary Performing Arts'', co-organised by [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre]]. The seminar is an all-year programme featuring internationally acclaimed scholars, artists, dramaturgs, and writers. The seminar aims at enhancing analytical and critical thinking about performing arts and facilitating the reading of historical, aesthetic, and cultural contexts to create new forms of reflection on and fulfill the potential of contemporary stage arts. The seminars have discussed topics such as the historicisation of contemporary performing arts, dance dramaturgy procedures, parallel practices of contemporary art, artistic and social assemblage of bodies, animated forms, etc. The participants of the seminar are taking part in ''The Audience Council'', organised by [[Bunker Institute]], [[Via Negativa]], and [[Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia]], which aims to form the space for reflection, discussion, and dialogue and to propel a vibrant exchange of exclusively spectator’s experience, opinions, reflections and expectations.

On Historicization Processes in Contemporary Performing Arts'' in the frame of the 15th Performance Studies International Conference, held in Zagreb, Croatia, the purpose of which was to reflect on the processes of historicisation in contemporary performing arts which were analysed through theoretical reflections, presentations of working methods, and artistic research. The panel was part of Maska's one-year programme East Dance Academy and the project ARTCHIVE - Contaminated with History.
