What observations might emerge from comparing Christian versus non-Christian, and monotheistic versus polytheisitic representations of deity? Cambridge Interdisciplinary Performance Network (CIPN) seminars stage multi-disciplinary discussions which use concepts of performance to think differently. How is deity performed, and how does this vary from era to era, and place to place?
