Total Theatre Explores:
Age and the Female Body within Physical and Visual Performance

As part of the Interdisciplinary Landscapes: Postfeminist Practices in the Arts conference, which took place on 17th September 2004 at University College Northampton, Total Theatre Explores presented a panel presentation and discussion on Age and the Female Body within Physical and Visual Performance.

An international panel of experienced female theatre/performance practitioners each made a presentation on their work, contributing to a vital and engaging debate on the subject of age and the female body within physical and visual performance.

This panel presentation and discussion was part of a five-day event that explored many different aspects of women artists' and academics' experiences and reflections, within a cross-artform context. Included in the event were not only the presentation of academic papers and discussion panels but also performances, installations, performative lectures, exhibitions and social events.
