A performance lecture or lecture-performance blends aspects of teaching and performance art. Performance lectures draw attention to the form of knowledge presentation, how teaching itself is a live performance, art education and institutional structures, and pedagogy as a mode of production.[1] There is a long history of performances in the fine arts that experiment with form to call attention to situational elements of teaching, education, educational contexts, and the dynamics of lecturer and audience interactions. Performance lectures also appear in other storytelling and literary contexts.[2]

Some artists that have worked in this genre include: Andrea Fraser, Chris Burden, Yvonne Rainer, Coco Fusco, Robin Deacon, Devin Kenny, Hito Stereyl, and the arts collectives Bruce High Quality Foundation, and .[3]
