If you are looking for rigorous, accessible, and bracingly contemporary answers to the what, how, and why of performance studies, you will find them in Performance Studies: The Basics. This meticulous introduction outlines the field's complex and contested genealogies, its theoretical infrastructures, and its methodological possibilities. It efficiently and evocatively captures performance studies' scope, models its ethical commitments, and details its diversity: a must read for students and faculty from high school to grad school.
