About Us: Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics Hemispheric Institute; Hemispheric Institute, Instituto Hemisférico, Instituto Hemisférico performance studies, estudios sobre performance, estudios de performance ENG: The Hemispheric Institute aims to provide a model for academic study that is specially suited to embodied performance practices in the Americas. The interdisciplinary focus on performance avoids some of the ethnocentric limitations inherent in traditional theatre and dance studies, enabling students to focus on expressive forms that fall outside the bounds of European performance genres.
