JUST LIKE A WOMAN
“Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world.”
(Lola, The
Kinks)
Lectures, performances, readings, installations,
screenings, workshops and debates looking at the performance of identity – the
ways femininity can be 'performed' and representations of gender can be queered
through performance. Just Like A Woman
features a dazzling array of UK
based artists - women performing women, women performing men, men performing
women, and artists who go beyond the limits of gender altogether.
Program Just
Like A Woman is part of the Live Art Development Agency’s Restock, Rethink, Reflect 3: Live Art and
Feminism initiative, mapping
and marking the impact of performance on feminist histories and the
contribution of artists to discourses around contemporary gender politics. Program features Lois Weaver, George Chakravarthi, The Girls,
Dickie Beau, Nando Messias, Lucy Hutson, Laura Bridgeman &
Serge Nicholson, and David Hoyle.
