Failure has provided a popular frame through which to theorise recent avant-garde performance, even though the work rarely acknowledges stakes tend to be higher for women than men. This book analyses the imperative work of a number of female, non-binary and trans* practitioners who resist the postmodern doctrine of 'post-identity' and attempt to foster a sense of agency on stage. By using feminism as a critical lens, Gorman interrogates received ideas about performance failure and negotiates contradictions between contemporary white feminism, intersectional feminism, gender and sexuality. Women in Performance reveals how performance has the power to both observe and reject contemporary feminist and postmodern theory, rendering this text an invaluable resource for Theatre and Performance Studies students and those grappling with the disciplinary tensions between Feminism, Gender, Queer and Trans* Studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.
