Theories of Performance invites students texplore the possibilities of performance for creating, knowing, and staking claims tthe world Each chapter surveys, explains, and illustrates classic, modern, and postmodern theories that answer the questions, What is performance? Why dpeople perform? and How does performance constitute our social and political worlds? The chapters feature performance as the entry point for understanding texts, drama, culture, social roles, identity, resistance, and technologies Written specifically for the undergraduate classroom, performance theories are explained in ways accessible tstudents, relevant ttheir lives, and richly illustrated with examples that encourage students tthink more, tthink harder, and tthink differently about performances around them
