Description
Under the direction of Dr. Wendy-Marie Martin
My work is attempting to fill the gap of research in disability performance studies that exists specifically in using techniques such as embodied dramaturgy, which focuses on the bodymind of the performer in order to have authentic and grounded performance. By applying three embodied dramaturgies as interventions to the cast of my original play CORPS (a canniballet in two acts) as well as implementing aspects of disabled dramaturgy to the entire process, I am looking to study the effects of this overall framework on both disabled and nondisabled actors' self-efficacy and satisfaction with the dramaturgies with scales of measurement, and feelings on overall artistic experience in one-on-one interviews. As I continue this research, I want to eventually be able to publish a book of practices as part of a larger Disabled Embodied Dramaturgy framework that can be applied to creative projects and benefit disabled and nondisabled performers by not only providing accommodation but also supporting and inspiring them creatively.
