Performance Semiotics is a semiotic framework that systematically analyzes theatrical signs and signifying practices in performance, particularly within traditions such as Commedia Dell'Arte and Theatre Anthropology, by identifying how bodily gestures, masks, scripts, and staging conventions function as culturally coded signifiers of meaning.
