The inaugural PerºForm Open Academy of Arts and Activations 2023 is in Theater (Vol. 54, No. 1), a journal by the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University/Yale Repertory Theatre.

We are thrilled with this opportunity and grateful to editor Tom Sellar for recognising the value of our “translocal” conversations in performance practices.

Available for download, till the end of April, are performance texts, complete lectures, and excerpts from presentations by our 2023 Global South Fellows, including an introduction by our Artistic Director, Ong Keng Sen.

For almost fifty years Theater has been the most informative, serious, and imaginative American journal available to readers interested in contemporary theater and performance. It has been the first publisher of pathbreaking plays from artists as diverse as Romeo Castellucci, Guillermo Calderón, Richard Foreman, W. David Hancock, Peter Handke, Elfriede Jelinek, Sarah Kane, Toshiki Okada, and Suzan-Lori Parks. Theater has also featured lively polemics and essays by dramatists including Dario Fo, Heiner Müller, and Mac Wellman. Special issues have covered site-specific performance, digital dramaturgies, contemporary Brazilian drama, theater and social change, new Polish directing, and the curation of performance.
