Description

Explore the deep history of gender performance in The Changing Room by Routledge. This academic study traces the origins and variations of theatrical cross-dressing across different eras and global cultures. From ancient traditions to modern pop culture icons, this book provides a comprehensive look at how gender is expressed on stage. Readers will examine various historical phenomena, including tribal rituals and shamanic practices found in the Balkans and Chinese-Tibet. The text explores the gender-bending elements of Greek and early Christian religion, alongside the homosexual appeal of the boy actor in China, Japan, and England. This work tracks the evolution of performance roles, including the dame comedian, the principal boy, the glamour drag artiste, and the male impersonator. It even connects these historical roots to modern artists like David Bowie and Boy George. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the history of performing arts and the social impact of theatrical identity.
