During much of the twentieth century international theatre research was typically focused on europe and america. As that century drew to a close, however, the two international sister organizations (International Federation for Theatre Research IFTR and performance studies interna- tional psi) became more implicated in addressing theatre as a truly global activity1.The urgency released from the intercultural debate to transcend the polarities east/West, and even North/south, within a global environment is the most significant indication of paradigm shift in perfor- mance research.
