About the editors
Mary Elizabeth Anderson is a curious thinker, nature walker, shell collector, and peripatetic writer.

Mary is a Contributing Editor for Liminalities.
Richard Haley is a Montara, CA, based artist, writer, and curator. His work is tied to questions of self and being; more specifically, taking elusive ideas, bordering on the metaphysical and transcendental, and trying to locate them on corporeal terms. He is currently a guest curator at the Verge Center for the Arts and a Visiting Scholar at San Jose State University.
Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies is a peer-reviewed online journal for performance studies scholarship, criticism, praxis, and pedagogy. We welcome the submission of essays, interviews, reviews, performance scripts, poetry, and multimedia projects. We support a wide range of performance perspectives, practices, methodologies, media, contexts, styles, and sites. All submissions should be in cross-platform formats.

Edited by Mary Elizabeth Anderson & Richard Haley
The art that touches us lives with us for days and months and years. It swims around in pools and hemispheres of both consistent and erratic intersections and information. As part of a vast cosmology of reverberations, we continue to make and unmake, do and undo the work as it weaves backwards and forwards in our sensing and memory. In this curated series, authors will stage encounters between themselves and performance ephemera with an interest in unearthing new dimensions of the aftermaths of experience. Contributions will be fundamentally exploratory in nature and may search through any number of frameworks, including but not limited to:
*experiments with voice: diaristic accounts; autoethnography; performative writing; collaborative writing; polyvocality; audio recordings; deconstructed narrative; invitation of subtexts and metanarratives; intersectional identities; nonhuman presences
*experiments with space: dialogues between the public and the private; interventions in graphic representation and page layout; associative and annotative image-sharing; digital convolutions and (mis)representations; poetic structures; tactility and materiality
*experiments with time: the temporalities of bearing witness; interstitial memories; starting in medias res; unfolding or undoing temporal constructs; looping thoughts and other redundancies; work that is too short or too long; cultures in and of history
We look forward to your ideas and inventions in any (digital) medium!
