Lesley Ferris is Professor of Theatre at The Ohio State University, specializing in feminist and political performance studies. Her academic work focuses on solo performance, particularly examining how motherhood and domestic experiences influence theatrical expression.
Professor Ferris's research interests center on 20th century performance, with particular expertise in UK feminist theatre of the 1980s. She has conducted significant analysis of Bobby Baker's work, exploring how personal experiences like childbirth and kitchen-based performances challenge traditional theatre spaces and narratives. Her research examines the intersection of autobiography, political statements, and site-specific performance in feminist art.
Her scholarly output demonstrates a consistent focus on how women artists incorporate domestic experiences into political theatre, with particular attention to solo performance works that emerged from the UK scene in the 1980s. While her most documented works appear to be from this period, her academic position suggests ongoing contributions to theatre studies.
