Joyful resistance: Reflections on a creative process in two student solo performances
Contributors to this essay embrace a collaborative, dialogical approach to writing while analyzing the processes and outcomes of two undergraduate solo performance projects. Under the umbrella of critical performance pedagogy and queer intimacy, and via access to interdisciplinary ways of knowing, this essay immerses readers in a campus world that created the conditions for these two projects to be born and shared. Implications for the advisor/pr…

Sounding sight in an ASL classroom
This essay reflects on critical intercultural communication pedagogy associated with Deaf instructors teaching American Sign Language (ASL) to hearing students. Focusing on the presence and absence of sound while learning ASL—a language that lives visually–spatially—the essay offers preliminary observations of how the present absence of sound demonstrates the distinctive way an ASL classroom performs difference

Beyond the 22: Gender Inequity in Regional Theatres’ Show Selections
Although many U.S. regional theatres claim that gender parity factors prominently into their seasons’ show selections, women playwrights continually struggle to have their work produced. In this study, we explore the dissonance between theatre professionals’ stated intentions and actions with regard to gender parity in play selection. Interviews with theatre professionals reveal that the prioritization of organizational needs over gender inclusio…
Drama
Drama is a type of performance characterized by conflict and suspense and generally brought to life through theater. This entry emphasizes drama as a social process and art form, focusing on its origins and development primarily as related to the discipline of communication, with additional references to the disciplines of literature and theater.
Performance
Performance typically claims a place in academic departments of, for example, communication, theater, and dance, and it has been embraced additionally in fields such as cultural studies, folklore, and cultural anthropology. This entry explains the central concepts of performance, traces the academic history of its study with attention to key thought leaders, and describes its trajectory of theory and research in communication.

What is Called Presence
This essay rethinks what is called presence in a way that links important past and present ways of thinking in performance studies. Bringing Wallace Bacon's writing into conversation with Walter Benjamin we reflect from a phenomenological position on presence as an experience of “thisness.” Our aim is neither to defend presence as a simple, ontological fact nor to dismiss it altogether as an anachronism of a premedia age. Rather, we seek to affir…

"Inventing one's "voice: The interplay of convention and self-expression in ASL narrative
Drawing on the work of Jean-François Lyotard and Mikhail Bakhtin, this study analyzes personal narratives created and performed in American Sign Language (ASL) by three Deaf college students. These narratives can be viewed as "boundary phenomena" in that they reflect themes common to the Deaf oral tradition, yet were deliberately poetically created, extensively rehearsed and publicly performed, based on fact, and created with a specific rhetorica…
Stylistic features in American sign language literature
American Deaf culture intergenerationally transmits a rich heritage of traditions through American Sign Language (ASL). Deaf culture is clearly an oral—or, more accurately, manual—culture in that ASL does not exist in writing; it is also, however, a "literate" culture in that it is now producing a body of literature that is both single‐authored and preserved in permanent form on videotape. ASL literature is particularly salient to performance stu…
A semiotic analysis of artistic American sign language and a performance of poetry
Research has shown that English and American Sign Language (ASL) are distinct languages and communicative forms. Because English is an auditory‐vocal language and ASL is a visual‐gestural language, the translation process from one to the other is complicated. This essay explores the intersemiotic translation and performance of a written poem to artistic ASL, focusing specifically on the visual nature of ASL and the function of its manual and nonm…
