Programs & Initiatives

Center for World Perforamnce Studies is committed to serving the University and broader community through innovative, interdisciplinary, academic and co-curricular programs. CWPS brings leading artists, faculty and scholars in the field of World Performance Studies to campus through its Artist & Scholar Residency program. Through our robust programming, we provide many opportunities for student and faculty interaction with visitors including class visits, seminars, roundtables, public lectures, demonstrations and performances.  All are welcomed and encouraged to attend these events.

The Center collaborates within and across LSA, Rackham, and the professional schools and colleges throughout the larger University, through four core programs:

  • Artist & Scholar Residencies, Speaker Series, Symposia and Classroom Teaching
  • Graduate Fellows Program with Certificate in World Performance Studies
  • Faculty Fellows Program, providing funds for intensive summer research projects
  • Funding for Student and Faculty Projects and Co-Sponsorships with Centers, Departments and Units throughout the University
