Extensions and Excursions: Acting Queer Ecology. 330 $aThis book is situated at the intersection of queer/gender studies and theories of acting pedagogy and performance. It explores the social and cultural matrix in which matters of gender are negotiated, including that of post-secondary theatre and drama education. It identifies the predicament of gender dissident actors who must contend with the widespread enforcement of realist paradigms within the academy, and proposes a re-imagining of the way drama/theatre/performance are practised in order to serve more fairly and effectively the needs of queer actors in training. This is located within a larger project of critique in reference to the art form as a whole. The book stimulates discussion among practitioners and scholars on matters concerning various kinds of diversity: of gender expression, of approaches to the teaching of acting, and to the way the art form may be imagined and executed in the early years of the 21st Century, in particular in the face of the climate crisis. But it is also an aid to practitioners who are seeking new theoretical and practical approaches to dealing with gender diversity in acting pedagogy. . 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aActors 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aContemporary Theatre and Performance 606 $aPerformers and Practitioners 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aActors. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aContemporary Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aPerformers and Practitioners. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 676 $a305.3 676 $a305.3 700 $aAlexandrowicz$b Conrad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0978503 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483216703321 996 $aActing Queer$92230321 997 $aUNINA
