Interdisciplinary Performative Pedagogies

Interdisciplinary Performative Pedagogies investigates performative pedagogies within interdisciplinary international and cross-disciplinary contexts.

The aims of this working group work are:

- To examine the origins of interdisciplinary live performative pedagogies within an international context, including digital (online), physical and hybrid interactions.
- To draw connections between existing theatre pedagogies and apply them in cross-disciplinary collaborations with other areas.
- To explore the impact that performance practices and methodologies can have within other fields of scholarship through pedagogical approaches (in architecture, film, visual arts, politics, historiography, etc.).
- To interrogate the relationships between audiences, participants and performers within interdisciplinary performance practices and the transformative potential of performative pedagogies in society.

Our members contribute to a broad range of disciplines and international perspectives. The group has core members from Higher Education institutions and at a community level from seven countries.
