  • "The dissertation examines Pop Performance, a style of theatre originating in New York's East Village. It is an entertaining cross between the more formal non-narrative performance art prevalent in the 1970's and a resurging vaudevillian aesthetic linked to the Ridiculous theatre tradition. It discusses the theatre of Jack Smith, Tom Murrin who performs as the Alien Comic, Ethyl Eichelberger, and the Split Britches Company consisting of Peggy Shaw, Lois Weaver, and Deborah Margolin; all of whom write, direct, and perform their own material. They have been among the vanguard in developing Pop Performance and have greatly influenced the work of younger performers."@en
