| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project asked how theatre in a digital age can represent human bodies, their histories and experiences when the body itself is a vanishing recording machine. Phase one mapped uses of documents in 21st century British documentary theatre. It was clear that the traditional definition of the document as an official record could not account for the transformations that occur between actors and documents in performance. Phase two broadened the definition of the document to include factors such as space, time, absence, deletion and simulation. It moved from documents as objects to the document as an assemblage of traces created by bodies in performance across time and space. Phase three brought this shifting definition of documents into a pedagogic setting at Konan Women's University through a course in which students experimented with documents in short performances. This research was disseminated in journal articles, a book chapter, newspaper articles, and conference papers.
