Women's intercultural performance

This work examines contemporary intercultural performance by women around the world. Contemporary feminist performance is explored in the contexts of current intercultural practices, theories and debates. Holledge and Tompkins provide ways of thinking about and analysing contemporary performance and representations of the performing, female, culturally-marked body. The book includes discussions of: ritual performance by women from Central Australia and Korea; the cultural exchange of "A Doll's House" and "Antigone"; plays from Algeria, South Africa and Ghana; the work of the Takarazuka revue company; and the market forces that govern the distribution of women and women's performance.
