Arya Madhavan brings together essays from leading scholars across the globe to make an exciting intervention into current aesthetic, political and cultural debates. Chapter-by-chapter, this volume re-examines the often centuries-old aesthetic theories and acting conventions which inform ideas of femininity and female representation onstage.Divided into three parts, Women in Asian Performance addresses: Erasure: the history of the presence and absence of female bodies on Asian stages Intervention: the politics of female intervention into patriarchal performance genres Reconstruction: the strategies and methods adopted by women in redefining their performance practice
