As exploratory practice is engaged here as mode of inquiry, the written reflection (conducted post production of the multimedia performance works) is a dialogue of open-ended experiences and findings and theory applied in retrospect – a dialogue in which implicit knowledge become explicit. Given this open-end, progressive form of practice-based inquiry, I have chosen to perform a reflection which in both aim and form might be closer to a mode of discovery than a traditional structural analysis or investigation. The discovery navigates according to the somewhat broad research questions, which may be questionably broad in a formal academic sense [28. research questions repeated]. Equally widespread is the selection of material and interdisciplinarity of theoretical perspectives engaged in this thesis. Throughout the production, performance and the post-production, of which this thesis is the outcome, I have shifted between being a practitioner and a researcher providing multiple lines of inquiry: recordings of production and performances, pragmatic experience of a collaborative production and performance and theoretical reflection buttressed on perspectives from as diverse fields as cultural-historical activity theory, contemporary scenography and epistemology related to the humanities. |
