The Performance department has a long history of producing artists who create highly experimental work that responds to radically changing concepts of the body, time-based art, social practice, new media technologies, and the social and cultural conditions of a globally mobile society. Exceeding boundaries is at the heart of the Performance Department ethos, and students are encouraged to explore diverse artistic disciplines and ideas in their performance research through performance re-enactments, socially engaged/activist performance, abandoned practices, performance lectures, immersive technologies and social networking performance, tactical and site-specific performance, and choreographic actions.
