Analysing Gender in Performance brings together the fields of Gender Studies and

Performance Analysis to explore how contemporary performance represents and

interrogates gender. This edited collection includes a wide range of scholarly

essays, as well as artists’ voices and their accounts of their works and practices.

The Introduction outlines the book’s key approaches to concepts in English language gender discourses and gender’s intersectionalities, and sets out

the approaches to performance analysis and methods of research employed by

the various contributors. The book focuses on performances from the Global

North, staged over the past fifty years. Case studies are diverse, ranging from

site-specific, dance theatre, speculative drag, installation, and music video

performances to Mabou Mines, Churchill, Shakespeare and Ibsen. Contributors

explore how gender intersects with sexuality, social class, race, ethnicity,

indigeneity, culture and history. Read individually or in tension with one another,

the essays confront the contemporary complexities of analysing gender in

performance.
