Performance Paradigm (#4) 2008 - Emergences: 21st Century Performance … emergent forms and themes in performance and culture in the first decade of C21 :: Edited By Peter Eckersall and Helena Grehan :: Online Now.

The articles section features new essays from a number of established and emerging scholars in the field. The topic of new forms and paradigms in performance emerges in essays such as Kate Rossmanith’s account of Bio Art, Jeffrey Morris’s discussion of digital music performance and Diana Smith’s account of Sydney based visual artists ‘The Kingpins’. We are especially excited to be publishing Meiling Cheng’s recent exploration of recent performance work in China.
