The article “Theatrical-Dramaturgical Aspects of Performance” (Performances dramaturģiskie aspekti) by Laine Kristberga and Laura Feldberga, published in Teātra Vēstnesis, 2022/IV (No. 148), examines performance art as a field situated between visual art and theatre, focusing on the dramaturgical structures that emerge within ephemeral, live processes. It explores how elements such as body, space, time, and object contribute to the creation of performative meaning and how dramaturgical strategies influence the audience’s perceptual and emotional experience.
