Futures of Performance inspires both current and future artists/academics to reflect on their roles and responsibilities in igniting future-forward thinking and practices for the performing arts in higher education. The book presents a breadth of new perspectives from the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and mediated performance and from a range of institutional contexts. Chapters from teachers across various contexts of higher education are organized according to the three main areas of responsibilities of performing arts education: to academia, to society, and to the field as a whole. With the intention of illuminating the intricacy of how performing arts are situated and function in higher education, the book addresses key questions including: How are the performing arts valued in higher education? How are programs addressing equity? What responsibilities do performing arts programs have to stakeholders inside and outside of the academy? What are programs’ ethical obligations to students and how are those met? Futures of Performance examines these questions and offers models that can give us some of the potential answers. This is a crucial and timely resource for anyone in a decision-making position within the university performing arts sector, from administrators, to educators, to those in leadership positions.

In an atmosphere of growing authoritarianism, how can we draw attention to performance as a transaction of sensorial agency - the right to be seen, heard, recognized - the right to be palpable? Improvised Futures attempts to frame performance as doing, as fraught negotiations of agency and identity. As it considers the performative effect of a range of ideas, actions and situations that have shaped society and defined cultural expression since the 1990s, it frames the body as a site of radical imagination. The volume comprises texts and artworks by artists, academics and activists, placing these works in conversation with each other in order to elicit new meanings and connections.

High performance systems are a source of major competitive advantage and a sure path to increased market share. The advantage consistently goes to the nation, the army, the team that discovers an organization design that gives it an edge in competition. Like much invention, the discovery of a high performance organization design is most likely to come about through trial and error under competitive pressure. At the threshold of the twenty-first century, critical analysis of the history of high performance offers a rich fund of historical information and insight into the course of high performance systems evolution. This book offers a beginning into a better understanding of how high performance systems develop and are superseded by ever newer and more advanced systems. From history, social science research and the lessons of present-day global operations strategy, those elements that seem fundamental to past and future high performance management are identified in this timely critique. It concludes with suggested directions for exploration in the reinvention of tomorrow's high performance systems.
