This working Group is based at Northwestern University and was founded in January 2015. It aims to address the relationship between theatre, performance and philosophy through multiple forms. By bringing together students and faculty members from different disciplines and departments, Northwestern Performance Philosophy Community fosters dialogues and collaborations beyond the academic systemic demarcations. It functions as a hub and a space of experiment. Furthermore, it would like to create connections with other groups  from Chicago and the Midwest. This year the Performance Philosophy group has been awarded a catalyst grant from the Graduate School and is grateful for their support.
