Synopsis

In the last decade a number of women playwright/performers have emerged who use elements of autobiography to address such issues as religion, sex, race, family and the struggle for women to move beyond their traditional roles in society. Stemming from earlier art world/gallery performances, this movement integrates aspects of ritual, monologue, music, visual arts and theatre to forge a new literary and theatrical tradition. This is a collection of performance pieces by American women including, amongst others, Laurie Anderson, Laurie Finley, Robbie McCauley, Rachel Rosenthal, Beatrice Roth and Leeny Sack amongst others.
