Guest Curator: Limor Tomer, vice president of programming and production, Segerstrom Center for the Arts

This week takes a critical look “under the hood and under the carpet” at live performance within the context of museum practice. Are museums increasingly embracing performance as a vital component of their programming?  If so, how and why?  If not, what are the barriers? Additional topics will include the power and potential of performance to diversify institutions and audiences, the realities of staging performance in museums, the relationship between performance and the object-centered context of museums, the issues of collecting performance, and more.
