Citing Images of Theatre and Performance in the Classroom

Abstract

This is uncontroversial. We cite to give credit where credit is due. We cite to build lineages, to build bridges, to call in voices that are missing from the conversation, and to call back those that are heading in the wrong direction. Citation allows us to ethically participate in community with other scholars and artists. When we move into the classroom, we bring citation with us. We fill our syllabi and course materials with references. We write titles and authors on the board when something comes to us on the spur of the moment.
