‘Place’-based Theatre: A Phenomenological Approach
Capstone file(s): Show file | Show file
My capstone project is my own scholarly and artistic attempt to translate, combine and complement ideas of theatre-making and place based research. Ultimately, I want to develop the idea of situated ‘performance’, that is performance that acknowledges its ontological situatedness, and treats place as more than space. Situated performance grapples with what is already at the performance location and beyond, including but not limited to human bodies and identities, and it facilitates explorations that offer new (re)imaginings of place.
