Contesting Performance is a unique and dynamic collection of essays by leading international scholars that addresses the global development of cultural performance research. The volume
functions as a critical reader on diverse, localised approaches to studying performance, using case studies from Mexico, Australia, Japan, Israel and Croatia, amongst others. Featuring
contributors such as Freddie Rokem, Shannon Jackson, Lauren Kruger and Sharon Aronson-Lehavi, this landmark collection will also reveal networks of practical and theoretical concerns that
contest dominant models of performance studies.
