Abstract

This book presents a refreshingly honest account of theory and performance practice, one that is prepared to engage with the difficulties, frustrations, and excitement of theorizing practice and to practice theorizing theory. The study is unusual insofar as it narrows the focus on practice to just three practitioners, or more specifically to three performances: Rose English's The Double Wedding, Bobby Baker's How to Shop, and Annie Sprinkle's Post Post Porn Modernist. One of Harris's stated aims is to examine certain theories in relation to these specific practices and, by doing so, to give more critical attention to the work of women performance artists in a British context than they have hitherto received.
