About this title

Synopsis

The first edited collection dedicated to the vibrant field of fat performance. 

This volume connects diverse materials from the field of fat performance and presents introductory frameworks to this area of artistic practice and scholarly inquiry. It presents fat performance as a diverse field, created by and with many different kinds of fat people and using numerous strategies for meaning-making through performance. 

The chapters include contributions from scholars, artists, and activists thinking and writing across dance, theater, live art, community practice, comedy, photography, film, health contexts, and performance in the everyday. The writing forms and research methods are as diverse as the performance forms, including conversations for the page, image-led essays, autoethnography, and poetry, as well as conventional academic formats drawing from history, critical theory, and philosophy. With its rich international scope and multidisciplinary, intersectional approaches, the volume showcases an exciting range of performance forms and demonstrates the expansive potential of fat performance studies.
