Dance and Costumes

The subTexte series of the IPF-Institute for the Performing Arts and Film, is dedicated to presenting original research within two fields of inquiry: Performative Practice and Film.
The series offers a platform for the publication of texts, images, or digital media emerging from research on, for, or through the performative arts or film.
The series contributes to promoting practice-based art research beyond the ephemeral event and the isolated monograph, to reporting intermediate research findings, and to opening up comparative perspectives.
