Text and Performance Studies

Text and Performance Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between written texts and their performance in various contexts, such as theater, dance, or spoken word. It explores how meaning is created and perceived through the act of performance, alongside the cultural and historical significance of the texts themselves. Scholars analyze scripts, performances, and audiences to understand how narratives are brought to life and experienced. This field highlights the dynamic interplay between language, emotion, and physical expression, revealing deeper insights into human communication and artistic expression.
