TDR: The Drama Review is the journal of performance studies. A forum for radical performance and theoretical intervention, TDR engages performance in its aesthetic, historical, social, economic, political, and theoretical contexts. The disciplinary zone of performance is conceived broadly – dance, theatre, music, visual arts, sound, architecture, media, everyday events, sports – emphasizing the experimental, the critical, and the provocative.
Each fully illustrated issue includes:
- scholarly articles on theatre, dance, music, politics, popular entertainment, visual arts, architecture, sound, performance, events
- editorial comments
- Critical Acts, shorter articles with a strong artistic, social, or political position exploring the intersection of live performance and critical inquiry.
- Pieces, new theatre and performance texts
- Provocations, one-page reflections, manifestos, performative gestures, visual invocations
- interviews with artists and writers
- book review essays
