Gender and Performance

“Breaking through the Foundation” attempts to question institutionalized notions of gender from their base, or foundation. At the same time, “foundation” refers to a cosmetic item commonly used by performers, as well as the fundamental skills they need to acquire for their performance genres. We seek to provide a venue for critical and explorative engagement regarding issues of gender and performance in Southeast Asia. We aim to examine various contemporary performance practices through diverse modalities, e.g., theater, music, dance, film, texts, and rituals, and through the bodies and apparatuses that give them life. Additionally, these discussions seek to uncover ways in which representations of genders on stage work to construct identities that are sometimes considered “off-limits” by certain cultural expectations.

Conference activities include paper presentations, music and dance demonstrations, and a beauty pageant. In the CHASS Interdisciplinary courtyard, the contestants are invited to express their ideas of “beauty” and to explore the potential of performance-as-scholarship on a public stage.
