Title Ibsen in Performance
Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description The establishment of the Centre for Ibsen Studies took place at roughly the same historical juncture as the consolidation of performance studies as an academic discipline. The first edition of Marvin Carlson’s foundational textbook, Performance Studies: A Critical Introduction, appeared in 1996, while CIS officially opened in 1992. In addition to his status as one of the leading figures in theater and performance studies, Carlson is well-versed in Ibsen, having published several articles on his plays in major journals and written numerous performance reviews for the Ibsen Society of America’s Ibsen News and Comment. Nonetheless, he faced something of an uphill battle in convincing established Ibsen scholars of the value of studying performance, and it took a new generation of scholars to fully embrace it.
