Performance Art in Practice: Pedagogical Approaches

New essays open a variety of philosophies that explore and challenge the relationship between education and performance art.

The essays collected in Performance Art in Practice are written from a practical point of view: how we concretely teach performance art, why we have chosen these ways, and what the outcomes are. Performance Art in Practice explains, challenges, and deconstructs performance art from various angles: the body as a tool and a base of identity, self as material, pedagogic acts of dissidence, challenging societal questions without politicizing art, and building sustainable artwork based on emotions.
