Aurora Murphy: Preventing Rape Through Performance: October 2011

How can performance prevent rape?

On-stage performance can help us reimagine what we take for granted. This blog looks at how performance can explore different ways to be a woman or a man, and negotiate relationships that are flexible, fun, and freeing.

I suggest that performance can be used as a tool in rape prevention. I look at how performative methods of rape prevention may build upon and develop other forms of social education that work to end rape, creating possibilites for different ways to engage in intimate relationships.

This blog is a personal, theoretical, and performative exploration of how performance can be used in rape prevention.

Here's my girlfriend talking about the Feast Festival this year. Plenty of thought-provoking shows, wild parties, and great times in the middle of the city! Join us for a Coopers?

See you in Light Square from 12th-27th November
