emergency INDEX

AN ANNUAL DOCUMENT OF
PERFORMANCE PRACTICE

Submit Your Performance

Emergency INDEX is an annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its creators. For more information, see our Project Description page.

Submissions for Volume 10/+ are closed.

Unlike previous years, Volume 10/+ will be a special “pandemic” issue that includes performances made in 2020 and those made in 2021. Because of the increased number of contributions, and the physical limitation of a paper book, some contributions will appear in the print volume (Vol. 10), and some will appear in an online-only volume (Vol. 10+). The submission period for 2020 performances was held last year, and is now closed. This open call is for performances made in 2021.

After a decade of documenting performance in the wild, Vol. 10/+ will be the final volume of Emergency Index published by Ugly Duckling Presse. That said, there are exciting discussions underway about continuing the Index project as a Spanish-language publication, under the leadership of our collaborators across Latin America. If you are interested in getting involved as an editor, designer or indexer with the production of the Spanish-language Emergency Index, please contact espanolemergency@gmail.com

See below for example pages from Volume 6, which includes 279 works from 46 countries performed during 2016. Please email indexintern@gmail.com with any questions.
