In the early 1990s she served as associate director of 雅各布的枕头, where she conceived and co-directed an international intensive in improvisation. She was the editor in chief of 跳舞 Magazine from 2004 to 2013, and has also written for the 纽约时报， the Village Voice, vanityfair.com, and journals in Europe and China. An authority on Judson 跳舞 Theater and postmodern dance, Perron has lectured across the country and in Russia and China. In 2011 she was the first dance artist to be inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Hall of Fame. 她的第二本书， The Grand Union: Accidental Anarchists of Downtown 跳舞, 1970-1975, met with acclaim when it was published in 2020.
