Every year, Emergency INDEX invites authors to document performances
they made in the previous year. By including performances regardless of
their country of origin, their genre, aims, or popularity, INDEX
reveals a breathtaking variety of practices used in performance work as
it actually exists today.
For readers, INDEX offers a cutting
edge
view of performance as it is used in dance, theater, music, visual art,
political activism, scientific research, poetry, advertising,
terrorism, and other disciplines. For artists, INDEX provides an
opportunity to document the most important aspects of new work, without
the need for spin or salesmanship. For anyone interested in
contemporary performance, INDEX is required reading.
