Ends was formed and started work as part of the steering committee planning the 2020 Performance Studies international conference. Despite that conference being cancelled due to the pandemic, the work has continued across planetary networks for collaborative thinking, writing, teaching, and research. The authorial ensembles have porous boundaries — Ends, paradoxically, does not quite end. And so while Ends does not claim authorship of the list as a whole, every item below has been generated by a constellation of scholars who have gravitated around each other through the Ends.
