Whats the difference between Performance as Public Practice (PPP) and Performance Studies?
Performance Studies is an integral part of what we do in the PPP program. While performance studies designates a methodological approach to the field, Performance as Public Practice designates an ideological investment in how performance works and what it means to the production of culture. For various key readings in the field, see Prof. Deborah Paredez’s syllabus for the Proseminar: Performance as Public Practice on this web site under “Courses”; it is required for all incoming students and helpfully delineates the contours of the field as we see it.
