A world history of women’s innovations in theatre, dance, and performance is still being written. To date, existing accounts of women’s innovations in theatre, dance, and performance in English have been overwhelmingly tied to Euro-American histories of stage actresses, concert dancers, and feminist performance artists. Yet, a vibrant world of women’s social performances, vernacular expressive cultures, and popular entertainment exists beyond these accounts. This roundtable seeks to explore how “worlding”—as a verb, as a method, and as a politics—might open up new trajectories for feminist theatre and performance historiography aligned with decolonizing and Global Majority social and aesthetic movements.
