Sexuality in Performance

by Lizbeth Goodman

Published February 2000
This work synthesizes contemporary debates around the politics of gender, sexuality and performance. It begins with an exploration of the different spaces in which performance is actualized, from theatre and art venues, to streets and private spaces. The book also discusses how gender gets performed in visual medium, from stills and video to the various forms of multimedia. It also examines the ways in which new technologies impact upon the status of live arts and theatre.
