What is 'performance'? What are the boundaries of Performance
Studies? How do we talk about contemporary performance practices
today in simple but probing terms? What kinds of practices
represent the field and how can we interpret them?
Combining the voices of academics, artists, cultural critics and
teachers, "Performance Perspectives" answers these questions and
provides a critical introduction to Performance Studies. Presenting
an accessible way into key terminology and context, it offers a new
model for analyzing contemporary performance based on six frames or
perspectives:
- Body
- Space
- Time
- Technology
- Interactivity
- Organization
Drawing on examples from a wide range of practices across site
specific performance, virtual reality, dance, applied theatre and
everyday performance, "Performance Perspectives" addresses the
binary of theory and practice and highlights the many meeting
points between studio and seminar room. Each chapter takes the
innovative form of a three-way conversation, bringing together
theoretical introductions with artist interviews and practitioner
statements. The book is supported by activities for discussion and
practical devising work, as well as clear guidance for further
reading and an extensive reference list across media
"Performance Perspectives" is essential reading for anyone
studying, interpreting or making performance.
