Description

Performing Emotions by Peta Tait examines how emotional performance in realist drama fundamentally expresses gender identity through the body. This scholarly work bridges realist theatre studies with contemporary emotion theory, phenomenology and gender scholarship to reveal how cultural beliefs about emotions shape both performance and social space. The study focuses on Chekhov's dramatic works and Stanislavski's theatrical approach, with dedicated chapters exploring masculinity and femininity alongside broader emotional phenomena. Tait argues that emotions are not abstract but embodied experiences that carry cultural meaning, making them central to understanding how actors create authentic realist characters. Published by Routledge, this book offers theatre scholars, students and practitioners a sophisticated framework for analysing how bodies perform emotions within specific cultural and gendered contexts.

Key Features

Integrates realist drama scholarship with contemporary interdisciplinary theories of emotion, phenomenology and gender.

Devoted chapters examine masculinity and femininity specifically, alongside general emotional phenomena in theatre.

Focuses on Chekhov's four major plays and Stanislavski's revolutionary acting methods in relation to emotional performance.

Explores how cultural identities and bodies create specific spaces of emotion within realist theatrical contexts.

Published by Routledge with rigorous academic analysis for theatre studies programmes and performance practitioners.
