Description

Theories of Performance by Sage Publications offers students a deep look into how performance works to create, know, and claim space in the world. This textbook explores the fundamental questions of what performance is, why people engage in it, and how it shapes our social and political environments. Designed specifically for the undergraduate classroom, the text provides a clear path for learning through a survey of classic, modern, and postmodern theories. Instead of just studying theory in isolation, students use performance as a starting point to understand complex topics like drama, culture, social roles, and identity. By examining performance through the lens of resistance and technology, this book helps learners connect academic concepts to real-world texts and social structures. It is an essential resource for students studying performing arts, dance, and cultural studies who want to understand how human action constitutes the world around them.
