Notes

1. This is a direct reference to the June 2012 NCA sponsored Performance Studies Conference, Economies and Ethics of Performance: Performance in/as Communication, held on the campus of Villanova University June 22–24, 2012.

2. In this sense, and recognizing Michael LeVan's shifted metaphor from shores to shoals, it is important to signal a Special Issue of the International Review of Qualitative Research edited by W. Benjamin Myers and Bryant Keith Alexander dedicated to expanding the metaphors for performance beginning with Dwight Conguergood's “caravan” metaphor including contributions by Ron Pelias, David Hanley-Tejeda, W. Benjamin Myers, Season Ellison, Lesa Lockford, Shauna MacDonald, D. Soyini Madison, Della Pollock, Christopher Poulos, John T. Warren, Nicole Defenbaugh, Tami Spry, Karin Schlucker, Claudio Moreira, Hari Stephen Kumar, and Bryant Keith Alexander.
