Description
'Draws on a vital history of trans performance – an emerging canon that may no longer be ignored.' – Morgan M Page, from her foreword
Seven turbulent years. Five radical performances. One landmark publication.
None of Us is Yet a Robot charts artist and performer Emma Frankland's gender transition against a shifting social and political landscape, while grappling with the systematic erasure of trans history.
Richly illustrated with images from the performances and designed in close collaboration with the author, the book is a new experience in itself as well as a vital document of Emma's groundbreaking work in theatre.
Featuring introductions from foremost theatre practitioners, including Maddy Costa and Travis Alabanza, this collection of work is an evocative exploration of a trans experience in twenty-first century Britain.

Reviews
-
Emma Frankland's euphoric Rituals for Change is a near-perfect twinning of content and form. A hymn to mutability, an earthy, messy sacrament to constant evolution and alteration, it charts her gender transition in a series of gnomic, interlocking actions.
The Stage
-
[Rituals for Change] is a private, beautiful, evocative piece of theatre. Tender, brave, and brilliant... It is storytelling at its simplest and bravest.
British Theatre Guide
-
A wonderful, warm contemplation on change.
