Center for Performance Studies

New - Performing Arts
Lecture Series
Fall 2012

We are happy to announce the creation of new lecture series this fall. The theme of these hour long evening talks, hosted in the Jones Playhouse, is exploring and celebrating 'Live' performance. "Why live?" What remains the singular attraction, uniqueness, and potency of the 'live' performance in a digital age?

The lectures will be held on Tuesday evening, October 2, 16, 30, 7-8:00 pm.

To be considered as a speaker, either in-house, or guest, please send proposals and abstracts to odai@uw.edu

Welcome to the Center for Performance Studies

The Center for Performance Studies is an inter-disciplinary consortium of graduate programs at the University of Washington. The center is comprised of a wide range of faculty and graduate students across the campus and across fields who have joined together to support the study of performance in a variety of forms and cultures. The Center is not a degree granting program, but rather a commons for the sharing and pooling of the diverse strengths and resources of the University of Washington community.

This website is designed to be a resource for the campus-wide study of performance. Here you will be able to access information about the faculty that comprise the Center, graduate courses that are focused on the study of performance, upcoming lectures, events and conferences, and opportunities for funding.
