What is Performing Animality : Animals in Performance Practices about?

This book is a historical and theoretical exploration of the presence of animals and animality – literal or symbolic – in theatre and performance practices from the eighteenth century to today. ** Review 'Performing Animality: Animals in Performance Practices is an important and timely must-have book that is among the first to foreground the animal as an increasingly urgent matter for Performance Studies. It is also the first to gather into one volume the particular perspectives of theatre and performance scholars as innovative contributions to the interdisciplinary field of Animal Studies. The essays, elegantly assembled by editors Parker-Starbuck and Orozco from both established and emerging scholars, are fresh, bold, and readable. This book will be invaluable to both students and scholars in the field of theatre and performance studies, and to anyone interested in the provocations and interventions performance brings to Animal Studies.' - Maurya Wickstrom, The City University of New York, USA About the Author Una Chaudhuri, New York University, USA Laura Cull, University of Surrey, UK Holly Hughes, University of Michigan, USA Kim Marra, University of Iowa, USA Garry Marvin, Univ
