Organizers

The PSi Future Advisory Board (FAB) is a collective body of international emerging and early-career performance studies scholars, artists, and artist-scholars who bring together perspectives, strategies, tactics, provocations, ideas, visions, hopes, and dreams from their various practices of theory and performance. Officially launched in July 2016 at PSi#22 Melbourne as a new PSi initiative, the FAB aims to connect graduate students and early-career scholars and artists worldwide, and to increase the visibility of diversity within Performance Studies. https://psi-futurists.org/
