Women in Asian Performance offers a vital re-assessment of women's
contributions to Asian performance traditions, focusing for the
first time on their specific historical, cultural and performative
contexts. Arya Madhavan brings together leading scholars from
across the globe to make an exciting intervention into current
debates around femininity and female representation on stage. This
collection looks afresh at the often centuries-old aesthetic
theories and acting conventions that have informed ideas of gender
in Asian performance. It is divided into three parts: erasure - the
history of the presence and absence of female bodies on Asian
stages; intervention - the politics of female intervention into
patriarchal performance genres; reconstruction - the strategies and
methods adopted by women in redefining their performance practice.
Establishing a radical, culturally specific approach to addressing
female performance-making, Women in Asian Performance is a
must-read for scholars and students across Asian Studies and
Performance Studies.
