Among the select PhD programs in English Canada focusing on Performance Studies, a rapidly growing discipline examining diverse performance forms across cultural contexts. Established in 2012, the University of Alberta's PhD in Performance Studies stands out as one of Canada's few dedicated programs in this field. Moving beyond traditional theater studies confined to scripts and conventional stages, Performance Studies explores performance as part of broader cultural dialogue and expression. This includes examining rituals, daily practices, body language, dance, digital media, and large-scale public performances. The program emphasizes critical analysis alongside creative exploration, aiming to cultivate students' independent thinking while nurturing their creativity, problem-solving skills, and imaginative capacities.
