Assignment Problem: Based on your reading in the Week 7 Required Resources and the Gateway into Drama and Theater Resource, think about the ways you perform your identity in daily life, then reflect on how that performance of identity impacts you and the world around you. Address the following questions in your initial post and provide at least one reference from the Required or Gateway resources to support your answers.
How does your performance of identity fit or not fit into the culture or cultures you are a part of?
How does your performance of identity work to support and/or challenge what is culturally accepted in the cultures you are a part of?
Have you ever had an experience where the way people perceive your performance of identity did not match up to how you perceive yourself? What happened?
Discuss a time when you felt like your identity, or "front of house" performance, did not match up with the context you were in. Did you change moving forward? If so, how? If not, why not?
