From Practice to Theory (Paperback)

In this rare example of praxis, Juli Parker, Ph.D., a budding scholar/artist in feminist theatre shares her original play, Liberating Women, followed by an analytical critique. The play examines the current antagonism to feminist reproductive rights activism in the United States, specifically focusing on the legality of abortion. Female superheroes save women from the actions of extremist politicians and their secrete underground forces in an all too familiar parody of the Bush administration. The accompanying analysis is designed to offer a theoretical and personal context for the creative work, to define feminist theatre and a brief history of it, while examining feminist theatre's potential for social and pedagogical change. Parker assesses the impact of theatre as a method of social change, playing her own roles as playwright, producer, director and scholar.
