Performing Identities: Celebrating Indigeneity In The Arts

Performing Identities is a pioneering account of the performance practices among indigenous communities from across the world. It highlights how the worldviews nurtured and sustained by indigenous people are represented through their distinctive approaches and styles of 'doing art'; and how a divergent understanding of concepts such as space, time, joy, pain, life, and death calls for a different aesthetic response in perceiving creative expression. - back cover.
