About ICPS

 

 

The International Centre for Performance Studies (ICPS) was founded in Tangier, Morocco in 2007. It brings together numerous initiatives that were developing over recent years with the common goal of fostering collaboration and
dialogue in research, performance, publishing, conferences, exchange, and education.

At our core, we are an academic organization; and as such, we are fueled by the generosity of our partners and by the rigorous contributions of our members and participants. We actively invite all stakeholders beyond academics

especially artists, writers, directors, actors, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and students— to join in the collaboration and dialogue.

Activities are temporarily housed at numerous cultural venues in the city and personal office spaces. Partnersand granters are being pursued for future expansion – inquiries and offers are cordially invited.

 Our mission is to promote

 

  • Multidisciplinary research  in Performance studies,
  •  The collaboration  and advancement of  academic research in different theatrical disciplines and performing arts at the national (Moroccan), Arab, and international levels,

  • Multilingual publications on theatre and performance studies,
