Abstract
This article takes an impressionistic and loosely comparative overview of British
and American Performance Studies provision based on a small sample of university
prospectus and website entries as well as conversations with teachers. This
material is then examined in the light of recent publication in the field, raising
issues of the relationship between Theatre Studies and Performance Studies,
writing and embodied knowledge, practice and theory, in an attempt to see what
the Performance Studies project might be becoming. It suggests a distinct British
conception of Performance Studies, occasionally drawing on the ‘broad spectrum’
North American model while retaining active curricular engagement with the
processes of performance making.
