'A colleague recently confessed in a seminar that they had begun as a researcher in order to garner the resources to embark on a creative work that they had long wanted to tackle, and then ‘fallen in love with research’. This narrative echoes my own, and that of many fine scholars in our discipline. We begin by wanting to make something and emerge with a fascination for how things are made, why they are made, where they sit in the context of contemporary practice and theory, where they are located culturally and geographically, and how they propel forward the quantum of knowledge in our discipline. The articles in this general issue are testament to the range of forms and approaches to performance currently live in our region, and to the range of perspectives that can illuminate the expanding field of performance scholarship. As well, we have tested a change of format in which we publish articles of conventional length, several shorter articles and bracket the issue with two ‘provocations’, offered as departure points for future discussion.'
