Abstract
Performance science is a new way of presenting the results offieldwork research. The performance mode creates problems of syntax and interpretation, but has corresponding advantages, including narrativity and multivocality. We illustrate these problems and advantages with examples from our study of the social organization of professional theatre in the United States, and we urge fieldworkers studying other subject matters to experiment with the performance mode.Keywords
