Languages of Theatre Shaped by Women

Annotation This book offers a unique insight into the creative processes of a selection of women performers working in a variety of forms - live performance art, multi-media, new media technologies, video and radio, as well as stage drama. As the book reveals, these performers are all, in diverse ways, seeking to shape the languages of theatre in ways that enable them to speak for themselves. There is an international, culturally diverse focus to the work, introducing feminist theories in an accessible way, investigating performance possibilities offered by new media technologies, and including extracts from performance texts.
