Description

Bodies and Transformance in Taiwanese Contemporary Theater by Routledge examines how theatre practitioners in Taiwan use bodily transformation as a cultural strategy. Author Peilin Liang introduces the concept of transformance - a deliberate process of self-cultivation that creates reconceptualised bodies resistant to ideological and economic dominance. The book analyses five distinct body types developed by contemporary Taiwanese theatre artists: the energized, the rhythmic, the ritualized, the joyous, and explores how minoritized cultures leverage performance practices to challenge hegemonic structures. This academic work provides essential insight into the intersection of theatre history, cultural resistance, and embodied practice within Asian contemporary performance.
