Book Synopsis
Part of our socialization is the urge-to-perform. We perform images of ourselves for others. If we are successful, we are called on to perform. For some, the urge is so great and the talent sufficient, that we become performers. Performance Art is a book about performers and performances which are extreme. Most of these stories and their performers and performances are at the edge of dream.
