Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the development of performance studies in Poland. The author focuses on the process of the institutionalization of performance studies, starting from the history of its“prenatal” stage, which was influenced by two important phenomena: the Polish student theater movement and the radical breakthrough in the activities of the Polish Laboratory Theater. The short introduction to the historical background is followed by a theoretical reflection on the influence of the works of Aldona Jawłowska, Jolanta Brach-Czaina, Andrzej Falkiewicz, Zbigniew Raszewski, Leszek Kolankiewicz, Grzegorz Godlewski, Wojciech Dudzik, Tomasz Kubikowski, Agata Skórzyńska, Jacek Wachowski, Dariusz Kosiński and Elżbieta Matynia for the development of performance studies in Poland.
