Beyond the Binary: Performing Gender Then and Now

Beyond the Binary was an AHRC-funded project which brought together students, public researchers, performance-makers, archivists and academics to undertake original research into historic music hall and pantomime archives. Through this research and our exhibitions and performance-lecture we uncovered and shared new perspectives on performance and gender, both in the past and today.

We shared our findings through creative outputs including a live Performance-Lecture (with Olly Double, Lunatraktors and Mark Thomas) which was the subject of a film, three public pop-up exhibitions (Brooks) and a public talks accompanying the Ambassador Theatre Group production of Mother Goose (Brooks).
