Book Synopsis

This groundbreaking collection imagines disabled bodies as ""bodies in commotion"" - bodies that dance across artistic and discursive boundaries, challenging our understanding of both disability and performance.

Trade Review

A testament to the synergy of two evolving fields. From the study of staged performances to examinations of the performing body in everyday life, this book demonstrates the enormous profitability of moving beyond disability as metaphor. . . . It's a lesson that many of our cultural institutions desperately need to learn." —Martin F. Norden, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
