Gender and Performance Studies

Gender and Performance Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores how gender roles and identities are expressed and perceived through various forms of performance, including theater, dance, and everyday interactions. It examines how cultural norms shape our understanding of gender, and how performances can challenge or reinforce these norms. By analyzing performances, scholars gain insights into societal attitudes towards gender, power dynamics, and identity. The field encourages critical thinking about how gender influences artistic expression and how individuals navigate their identities in a performance-oriented society.
