After Performance was founded in January 2015 as a graduate reading group at the National University of Singapore. Throughout three years of constant and consistent interaction, the reading group evolved into a working group, and then into an ensemble research group, where members continue to develop a collective professional scholarly practice. We identify ourselves as part of an emerging cohort of performance scholars with particular disquietudes, and a felt urgency to respond by coming together to explore and practice performance research ‘after’ performance studies. That is, differently to how we have been trained: as individual authors in a field that studies fundamentally co-creative practices. We describe our own writerly practice as one of ‘transauthorship’ – which voices our commitment to be published as a collective. The After Performance group and our work will be of interest to those working in performance-as-research; geopolitics and performance; performance writing and disciplinary formations; as well as performance makers. In addition to our publications, the group organises writing workshops that explore ensemble thinking and writing, by inviting participants with a wide spectrum of perspectives and approaches to write about performance with one another.
