Performance theory

Performance theory is an interdisciplinary framework that examines how individuals and groups express themselves through actions, behaviors, and presentations in various contexts. It emphasizes the importance of context, audience, and intention, highlighting how performances—whether in theater, everyday life, or social media—shape our identities and interactions. Essentially, it suggests that life is like a performance where we each play different roles depending on the situation, and understanding these dynamics can reveal deeper insights about culture, society, and human behavior.
