INVITE-ONLY EVENT

ZOOM Meeting

In keeping with our volume’s focus on feminist collaboration and relational historiography, this one-day authors’ workshop will provide a forum for contributing authors to Women’s Innovations in Theatre, Dance, and Performance, Volume I: Performers to develop and revise their respective chapter contributions to the volume in dialogue with each other. What new themes emerge across space and time when specific performance innovations (or challenges to innovation) are isolated and compared? At the same time, participants and convenors will connect over, reflect on, and imagine future developments in the field of feminist performance historiography: how might we develop and sustain a more global agenda for the field?
