Resources On Performed Ethnography
Performed ethnography, which is also known as performance ethnography and ethnodrama, involves turning ethnographic research findings into play scripts that are read aloud by a group of participants or performed for audiences. Many of the scripts featured on this website, for example, Harriet's House and Ana's Shadow, are performed ethnographies.
