This inaugural issue of BST launches what the editors hope will make a major contribution to the field of performance and technology.

The focus of the journal is interdisciplinary aiming to make connections between disciplines or approaches. It is aimed at a wide-ranging readership that would include not only academics but also performers, practitioners, and artists from a whole range of disciplines. Therefore, for our future issues we would welcome submissions from all areas of contemporary arts' practices that work with the body, space and new technologies. To be more explicit, submissions can relate to either body, space or technology or any combination of these elements relating to performance practice.

Given that many refereed publications fall into clear thematic areas we are of the mind that Body, Space & Technology should provide a forum for discussions that cross boundaries and/or reflect contemporary modes of interactivity and cross-fertilisation in practice as well as theory.

This inaugural issue of the journal is unique in that it consists of papers and presentations given at the Liminality and Performance Conference at Brunel University in May of this year. However, future issues will reflect the journal's more wide ranging interests.
