Micropolitical practice encourages women to recognize the role of gender and sex-power relations as they apply to individual identity and positionality,1 especially as these factors exist in the margins.2 Through such praxes, feminists strengthen their political goals while simultaneously challenging the homogenous superstructure of male hegemony. Along these lines, the classroom is often perceived as a marginal space for women because of the superstructures inclination toward male adversarial notions.3 This situation is particularly apparent within the acting training classroom, where students must utilize their whole selves as instruments of enactment in order to participate.4 In addition, part of the nature of acting techniques implies that such techniques are aesthetic tools, constructed from specific ideological bases.5 Whether inadvertently or not, acting choices remain by and large aligned with the prevailing power structure. Acting methods as political choices, however, are generally not addressed within the average acting classroom. The focus in classrooms generally remains on developing a product rather than on investigating the politics of a process.
