About Performance & Production
P&P is an international, diamond open access journal dedicated to the materiality of making in film, theatre/performance, and creative digital media. We publish work that makes production legible as craft and labour: the workflows, coordination, finance, logistics, infrastructures, technologies, and working conditions that shape what audiences ultimately see and hear. Drawing on intellectual traditions including Cultural Production Studies, the Sociology of Creative Work, Production Studies, and Practice-as-Research, P&P treats production knowledge as a legitimate and necessary form of research.
P&P prioritises work that explains production as craft and as labour. We welcome research and practitioner writing that makes methods, workflows, decision-making, constraints, and collaboration visible, and that advances understanding of technique, creative process, and the social and economic conditions of production. The journal serves researchers, practitioners, and students by providing a shared space for evidence-led analysis of making, doing, and producing.
