Performance is an area that deeply involves participants in physically manifesting elements of social change.

Performance can include spoken word, hip-hop, theatre of the oppressed, street theatre, performed ethnography and more. This area can allow researchers and participants to work together in an embodied way, reminding us that we teach and learn through, with, and in our bodies. Performance is a community-based, social activity that draws on understandings of ourselves, finding its roots in public storytelling, morality plays, and “Carnivale”.
