performance ethnography

Performance ethnography is a research method that explores cultural practices by observing and participating in them. It combines elements of performance art and ethnography, where researchers immerse themselves in the communities they study, often using storytelling, dramatization, and live presentations to convey their findings. This approach emphasizes the importance of context, emotion, and the lived experiences of individuals, allowing for a deeper understanding of cultural norms and values. Ultimately, performance ethnography aims to represent diverse voices and perspectives, highlighting how performance shapes identity and social interaction within cultures.
