Performance Research Journal

The Dynamic Interchange between Scholarship and Practice

AIMS AND SCOPE

Performance Research is a specialist journal published four times a year which aims to promote a dynamic interchange between scholarship and practice in the expanding field of performance.

Interdisciplinary in vision and international in scope its emphasis is on contemporary performance within changing world cultures. Although Performance Research is published in English we welcome submissions in the contributor's preferred language and encourage submissions which challenge the boundaries between disciplines and genres.

The journal has received a great deal of praise for its subject matter and the visual and textual layout of the material. Institutional and Individual subscriptions continue to rise.

The most cost-effective way to subscribe is through membership of CPR.
