Director's Message

The Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) at the International Institute was established to serve the needs of faculty and a student body with an interest in the growing discipline of Performance Studies.

Performance and performance styles are crossing borders and traveling at a rate and with a freedom that is unprecedented in history. From the intensely local to the transnational, performers enact the reality of a changed global situation for the performing arts.
