I've been asked to write a paper on following subject.

"Expositions and renditions: Expressions of queer praxis, politics and possibilities using different forms of experimental and/or classical performances, such as (but not limited to) theatre, music, dance, poety, narratives and prose."

I searched on internet what exactly queer praxis means but no clear definition found.

What do they expect me to write on? What is praxis, politics and possibilities? How to apply these terms to a literary text?

I did a quick google and found this book... https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Praxis-Questions-LGBTQ-Worldmaking/dp/1433128225
that seems to address your topic.

What I believe you are ask to do is use literature (and other) examples in that vein that explore the experimental and/or classical performances that are readily available in society. Politics abound whether in protests or parades or activisms of any sort. Poets are quite vocal in my meager poetry study that explore the topic. Dance examples... sure.

Hoping some of the LGBTQ community will also chime in; I claim no personal expertise, but humbly hope to start the conversation.
