The Performance Group brings together diverse departments within the DLCL with other disciplines, such as Drama, to achieve a cross-pollination: to reinvigorate performance theory through our own consciously re-mediated research interests, methodologies, and forms of scholarly expression. Drawn to topics involving space, temporality, and embodiment, we still want to “do things with words.” Each year of our three-year program will focus on a distinct goal: 1) discussion of seminal texts and topics with key guests, extended through a blog on Arcade; 2) a writing colloquium culminating in a conference, and guest performance by invited artists at the Bing Concert Hall opening (2012); 3) joint publication.
