{{Short description|Lecture that blends aspects of teaching and performance art}}A '''performance lecture''' or lecture-performance is a genre of presenting ideas live, that blends aspects of teaching and [performance art](/source/performance_art). Performance lectures draw attention to the form of knowledge presentation, the situational elements of teaching, and the dynamics of lecturer and audience interaction.

The genealogy of the lecture-performance is a topic of active discussion, with various critics offering multiple ways to trace the precursors of the format.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cerezo |first1=Bel |title=How to open my eyes?
