What does 'performance theory' really mean and why has it become so
important across such a large number of disciplines, from art
history to religious studies and architecture to geography? In this
introduction Simon Shepherd explains the origins of performance
theory, defines the terms and practices within the field and
provides new insights into performance's wide range of definitions
and uses. Offering an overview of the key figures, their theories
and their impact, Shepherd provides a fresh approach to figures
including Erving Goffman and Richard Schechner and ideas such as
radical art practice, performance studies, radical scenarism and
performativity. Essential reading for students, scholars and
enthusiasts, this engaging account travels from universities into
the streets and back again to examine performance in the context of
political activists and teachers, countercultural experiments and
feminist challenges, and ceremonies and demonstrations.
