Staging International Feminisms: Introduction

Abstract

This anthology celebrates twelve years of collective international scholarship in the Feminist Research Working Group of the International Federation for Theatre Research (IFTR). The group convenes its programmes of shared scholarship through annual conferences, internet communications and specially convened meetings. It has met in various cities, including Moscow, Sydney, Puebla (Mexico) and Stellenbosch (South Africa). Over the years the Group has sought to enable a rigorous dialogue of discovery and debate concerning women’s theatre and performance work across cultures.
