Trending and Emerging
- Decolonial and Indigenous Perspectives:
There is a growing trend towards exploring decolonial approaches in the performing arts, particularly in relation to indigenous narratives and practices, highlighting the importance of cultural sovereignty and representation. - Intersectionality in Performance Studies:
The journal is increasingly focusing on intersectionality, examining how various identities (such as race, gender, sexuality) interact within the context of performance, thereby enriching the discourse around diversity and inclusion. - Digital and Virtual Performance:
The rise of digital platforms has led to increased publications on virtual performances and the impact of technology on theater and dance, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. - Activism and Performance:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Theatrical Practices:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the focus on traditional theatrical practices and classical texts, suggesting a shift towards more contemporary and experimental forms of performance. - Mainstream Popular Culture:
Discussions centered around mainstream popular culture and its impact on the performing arts are becoming less frequent, as the journal gravitates towards more avant-garde and socially conscious topics. - Historical Narratives without Critical Engagement:
Papers that solely recount historical narratives without critical engagement or contemporary relevance are less common, indicating a preference for works that connect history with current socio-political issues. - Focus on Technical Aspects of Performance:
There is a waning interest in purely technical discussions of performance, such as stagecraft and production design, as the journal increasingly prioritizes thematic and conceptual explorations.
