What is Performance Art? What is it for? What does it have to do with the drama? Why does it always focus on the body? Allow exhibitionism and pornography in pseudo-subversive ways?

The dog won’t hunt.
Anymore than “borders” or “liminal.”
Is it not true that most writing on performance is at least as petrified and atrocious as all that billious wind-baggery in MLA publications?

Well, Yes, I was wondering about the Mongoose hunting. Do you do this on horseback? Or possibly, like Sarah Palin from helicoptors? Is a Mongoose larger than a Moose? Your interest in this matter I take for granted and I appreciate your time.
