The first examples of what were to become Fluxus event scores date
back to John Cage's famous class at The New School where artists such
as George Brecht, Al Hansen, Allan Kaprow, and Alison Knowles began
to create art works and performances in musical form. One of these
forms was the event. Events tend to be scored in brief verbal notes
known as event scores. In a general sense, they are proposals,
propositions, and instructions for different kinds of actions.

To accompany a special issue of the journal Performance Research, Ken
Friedman, Owen Smith, and Lauren Sawchyn edited a fortieth
anniversary edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook. The workbook
is now available in a free electronic edition. This book can be
viewed on-line or downloaded. The download is a .pdf file that can
also be printed.

This edition of the Workbook contains scores by over forty artists,
including work by such classic Fluxus artists as Jean Dupuy, Dick
Higgins, Joe Jones, Bengt af Klintberg, Milan Knizak, George
Maciunas, Larry Miller, Nam June Paik, and Mieko Shiomi.
