| Περίληψη: | This introduction motivates the objectives of Performance Generating
Systems in Dance and provides wayfinding markers for the inquiries,
insights, and resources of the book. First, the need to understand,
conceptualize, and render accessible the practice of performance
generating systems is discussed. I then sketch the interdisciplinary and
multimethodological journey of research this book is based on and
name the established artists and research collaborators that have been
involved. The three theoretical frameworks of the book – dramaturgy,
psychology, and performativity – are introduced and anchored in key
insights about performance generating systems. From this backdrop,
I outline how these frameworks are applied to, and further developed
through, case examples of the practice by sharing a selection of the
topics covered and discoveries offered within the contents of the book.
