This edited collection includes a wide range of scholarly essays, as well as artists' voices and their accounts of their works and practices. The Introduction outlines the book's key approaches to concepts in English language gender discourses and gender's intersectionalities, and sets out the approaches to performance analysis and methods of research employed by the various contributors. The book focuses on performances from the Global North, staged over the past fifty years. Case studies are diverse, ranging from site-specific, dance theatre, speculative drag, installation, and music video performances to Mabou Mines, Churchill, Shakespeare and Ibsen. Contributors explore how gender intersects with sexuality, social class, race, ethnicity, indigeneity, culture and history. Read individually orin tension with one another, the essays confront the contemporary complexities of analysing gender in performance. J.
