Performance Studies is an academic discipline created in the 1960s by Richard Schechner, Brooks McNamara, Michael Kirby, and others. It incorporates theories of drama, anthropology and sociology. The first performance studies department was created at NYU. More can be found out by reading Schechner's book: Performance Studies: An Introduction.

Performance Studies is also an A-level (AS and A2) course consisting of the integration of the discrete art forms of Dance, Music and Drama in performing arts.
