About this book
Reviews
'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
