It is with great excitement that I present the inaugural issue of Performing Culture Journal. This journal was created as a space where theatre, performance, and the creative industries meet research, reflection, and real practice.
In recent years, the boundaries between art and society have become more fluid than ever. Theatre and performance not only reflect cultural changes — they actively shape them. Our mission is to give voice to both emerging scholars and practicing artists whose work helps us better understand the evolving nature of performance today.
We welcome texts that explore new forms, challenge traditions, and rethink the future of performing arts — whether from an academic perspective or from within the creative process. By publishing in both English and Russian, we aim to build a bridge between artistic communities and cultural discourses across different regions of the world.
This first issue marks the beginning of a journey. We hope that Performing Culture Journal becomes a meeting point — a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and discovery.
Thank you for joining us at the start of this exciting path. Let’s create this future together.
