Contemporary Feminist Theatre and Criticism

In theatre and performance we can study how gender and sexuality are embodied — constructed, contested and revised — through the actions of real bodies. Feminist playwrights, performers, and critics engage in a multitude of ways with the intersections of gender, sexuality, race and class, and our plays and critical texts range across contemporary  culture and identity. This class is about the power–and pleasure–generated by feminist work in theatre and performance: feminist criticism, feminist theorizing, feminist practice.
