Angebote / Angebote:

The first volume to focus exclusively on lesbian performance work, Acts of Lesbian Passion: Sexuality, Gender, and Performance draws on the experiences and expertise of a wide range of lesbian practitioners and theorists to explore the impact and influences of sexuality and gender on performance. It examines essays, dialogues, and performance texts from theater directors, performers, theorists, playwrights, and performance writers against social and cultural constructs, performance theories, and performers' experiences to produce a diverse and challenging portrait of lesbian performance art. The book's penetrating scope covers drag queens, lesbian vampires, lesbian sex, solo artists, the art of collaboration, lesbian aesthetics, and lesbian playwrights writing straight and illustrates why performance art is one of the most dynamic forums in which women can create, control, and produce their work without artistic constraint.
