Writing Queer Performance

"Writing Queer Performance" is an anthology that documents a decade of the most exciting queer performances in the United Kingdom. This collection brings together retrospective scripts, development materials, and visual documentation to capture the often ephemeral nature of queer performances. Queer performances often emerge without complete scripts and are frequently the result of creative processes taking place in vibrant bars, cabaret venues, and fringe theaters. This anthology highlights the importance of writing in contemporary queer performance and preserves the works from being forgotten in the fleeting archives of memory. With an introductory contextualization, "Writing Queer Performance" provides a comprehensive overview of current themes, processes, and practices in queer performance art. The collection includes eight groundbreaking works, recorded through performance texts and visual documentation to ensure their accessibility beyond live performances.
