Performance Design was established at the University of Roskilde in 2004 and is one of the department's three master programs with a communication degree. The program currently has 280 students and eighth faculty members. Performance design is an emerging program focusing on theories and methods for the study of production and consumption of events and experience from both creative and commercial perspectives. The field of inquiry includes festivals, conferences, media events or experimental communication where questions of sensory presence, collective participation, and experience of the event are central and where the production is continuously developed in relation to social changes and audience segments. Advanced knowledge and skills are required to analyze and coordinate projects involving many project partners and audiences. Moreover, the event and the performance can be viewed as a context for understanding questions of cultural production, experience, and consumption.
