Towards a theatre of publishing: A practice-led investigation into performance storytelling

Abstract

This practice-led research project sets out to critically re-evaluate certain artist self publishing practices situated at the intersection of performance and publishing fields from the perspective of performance theory and practice as belonging to the proposed category of “performing publications”. Performing publications are defined as performance-enabling “texts” that are both generated by and generative of performance, the primary purpose of which is to stage acts of publishing as theatrical events – as evidenced by performance storytelling traditions grouped under the term cantastoria in which visual aids are used as performing publications, but by no means confined to these traditions of, crucially, oral rather than literary publishing
