Research subject Feminist and queer performing arts

One of the research areas of Theatre Studies is feminist and queer performing arts with a transnational and intersectional outlook.

Feminist and queer performing arts challenge the norms and traditions of traditional performing arts by focusing on gender, identities, bodies, lived experiences, sexualities and subcultural influences in the contemporary performing arts as well as in Theatre and Performance Studies.
