VOL. 6 • Fall 2017 • Ugly Duckling Presse

Begun in 2011, INDEX is a lens through which we see the field of contemporary performance from the ground up. In each annual volume, contributors document works made in the previous year. By including performances regardless of their country of origin, genre, aims, or popularity, INDEX reveals the breathtaking variety of practices used in performance work today.

Each volume features a comprehensive index of key terms used by contributors in describing and discussing their own work. Emergency INDEX Volume 6 includes documentation of 279 performance works made in 2016.The volume includes contributions from artists, poets, scholars, activists, advertisers, computer
scientists, theater ensembles, choreographers, and filmmakers from around the world.

The pages of Emergency INDEX are open to all who work with performance. To submit to Emergency INDEX Volume 7, visit emergencyindex.com. INDEX is accepting descriptions of public performances
made in 2017 until January 6, 2018.
