As opposed to other subjects in the Arts and Social Sciences, there does not seem to have been the same extensive questioning of universal assumptions about human behaviour and emotions within Drama as an academic discipline. To some extent, a belief in a common universality of human experience has its roots in modern acting practice, particularly with the widespread application of rehearsal exercises developed from the work of Russian director Konstantin Stanislavski. Here, through a long process of improvisation based on imaginative, emotional recreation, it is assumed that the actor can enter fully into a character that, in terms of its cultural background, is perhaps very different from her/his own, that experience is somehow universally translatable. In avant‐garde theatre, too, interculturalist practices (for example, the borrowing of oriental ritual patterns and the use of multi‐ethnic casts in the work of practitioners such as Eurgenio Barba, Peter Brook and Richard Schechner) have led to a homogenising, and in many cases distinct westernising, of individual cultural behaviours.

Interviews with 21 women in a rural Colorado county yielded personal descriptions of isolation and the feelings and strategies that exist in response to isolating events and circumstances. Isolation emerged as three distinct categories of relational disconnection: from specific individuals; from nonspecific others, such as groups or the larger community; or as a combination of both. Factors affecting relational disconnection were choice, control, and duration. Women who had the support of significant others and those who connected with themselves through self-talk or the achievement of goals were often able to move beyond the isolating situation and successfully reconnect.
Based on case studies and personal interviews carried out in the Moscow-region, No More Heroines? provides access to the thinking of women and their organisations in Russia today.
