Mission

Established in 2000, the Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) unites artists, performers, scholars and the community through the international language of the arts. The center provides a platform for artistic inspiration and scholarly dialogue about the importance and meaning of performance around the world. Through its work, CWPS strives to bridge the gap between performance and scholarship; increase knowledge of performing arts around the globe; and harness interdisciplinary opportunities at the University of Michigan.
