This essay maps an emerging philosophical and praxiological turn in contemporary performance studies toward the concept of “natureculture.” Natureculture – a concept established in counterpoint to the bifurcated spheres of “nature” and “culture” – offers performance studies scholars new opportunities for research and aesthetic production. The opportunities described in this essay include new interdisciplinary partnerships, expansions of performance theory into nonhuman arenas, and revised theories of the relationship between performance and embodiment
