Book Synopsis
Examines acts of showing, a particular species of performance that relies on competition and judgment, active spectatorship, embodied excess, and exposure of core values and hidden truths. The book's theoretical introduction and essays reveal how diverse, particularly efficacious genres of showing are theoretically connected and why they merit more concerted attention.

Trade Review
From top to bottom, the pieces of Showing Off, Showing Up are compelling, well-researched, and stand at the forefront of performance studies scholarship and hold the potential to move the field forward in very significant ways. It will find an appreciative audience with scholars and students in the field."" - Jonathan Chambers, Bowling Green State University
