This book contains the seminal texts of theorists.
such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes' Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley's The Constant State of Desire.
