Just published, Emergency INDEX 2011

[Luke Arnason]

Dear Candrama members,

The first volume of Emergency INDEX has just been released. Although
based in the States, there are some Canadian contributors and editors
(including yours truly) and the volume will no doubt be a welcome
addition to your personal or institutional libraries. Below is
information on the project and how to order.

Best wishes,

        Luke Arnason

Every year, Emergency INDEX invites authors to document performances
they made in the previous year. By including performances regardless
of their country of origin, their genre, aims, or popularity, INDEX
reveals a breathtaking variety of practices used in performance work
as it actually exists today. For readers, INDEX offers a cutting edge
view of performance as it is used in dance, theater, music, visual
art, political activism, scientific research, poetry, advertising,
terrorism, and other disciplines. For artists, INDEX provides an
opportunity to document the most important aspects of new work,
without the need for spin or salesmanship. For anyone interested in
contemporary performance, INDEX is required reading. INDEX 2011
includes 249 performances and a comprehensive index of key terms used
to describe them. To place an order, visit:
