Body Blows : Six Performances Paperback / softback
by Tim Miller
Part of the Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiographies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Performance artist Tim Miller has performed infront of audiences all over the world.
This volume gathers six of his best-known performances that chart the sexual, spiritual and political topography of his identity as a gay man: ""Some Golden States"", ""Stretch Marks"", ""My Queer Body"", ""Naked Breath"", ""Fruit Cocktail"" and ""Glory Box"".
Each performance script is illustrated with photographs and accompanied by Miller's notes and comments.
The book explores the tangible body blows - taken and given - of Miller's life and times as explored in his performance: the queer-basher's blow, the sweet blowing breath of a lover, the below-the-belt blow of AIDS/HIV, the psychic blows from a society that disrespects the humanity of lesbian and gay relationships.
Miller's performance are full of the put-up-your-dukes and stand-your-ground of such day-to-day blows that make up being gay in America.
