From repetition to care
Performance as/is care is a highly crafted encounter that connects the bodily and the social through repetition of precise and well-designed techniques. In creativity, repetition transforms an artistic vision into a realization. In movement-based intervention, repetition enables healing and strengthening. ‘Towards Probody Artmaking’ (2021–2025) is an interdisciplinary and multi-iterative Practice as Research (PaR) that integrates movement-based i…
The impacts of forum theatre in social work practice
This scoping review delves into the impact of Forum Theatre in social work practice, filling a gap in limited existing literature. The study’s primary aim is to identify key themes within relevant research, covering the implementation of Forum Theatre, its target audiences and issues, and outcomes on both individual and community levels. Additionally, it assesses the benefits and constraints associated with integrating Forum Theatre into social w…
Towards a Collaborative Ergonomics
In the globalized twenty-first century, the relevance of intercultural performance is to forge supporting infrastructures between collaborators of divergent sociocultural backgrounds and disciplinary training. Fostering such infrastructures is vital for reconfiguring existing social relations and redistributing resources in the face of increasing sociocultural asymmetry. However, I argue that transforming collaborating ‘strangers’ into interdepen…
Bodies and Transformance in Taiwanese Contemporary Theater
Ritualized bodies
Towards docuvention
Knowledge production exists through documentation. However, for Practice as Research (PaR) Applied Theatre to operate as a site of knowledge production, I argue for the necessity of implementing docuvention. Docuvention is the endeavour to document as a form of care practice, which seeks to concurrently document and intervene. Through the documentation practices of ‘A Home on the Island’, a series of transnational PaR Applied Theatre projects, I …
Towards a probody aesthetics
Through this reflection on ageing and occupationally damaged bodies in performance, I argue that a probody aesthetics is fundamental to generating and sustaining care in community-engaged theatre projects. Such aesthetics is concerned with adopting a body-centric approach to making community-engaged theatre and arts, which insists artistic creations and acts of creation could be a form of care provision. Informed by the medical sciences, probody …
Interweaving ethics and aesthetics
Working interculturally in the transnational space has become increasingly the norm for performance practitioners of the 21st century. Situating the concept of interweaving ethics and aesthetics in the context of ASEAN marriage migrant theatre in Taiwan, this paper examines how theatre making can initiate the inscription of agency and the transformation of hegemonic social structures. Since the 1980s, the rise of global capitalism gave rise to th…
Localising People's Theatre in East Asia
Since the 1960s and 1970s, theatre artists from around the globe initiated a wave of theatre practice that is commonly known today as People's Theatre or Theatre for Empowerment. Transforming its participants from being mere ‘spectactors’ to ‘spect-actors’ capable of articulating their concerns on-stage, the ultimate goal of such theatre is to bring about social change to the daily reality of its practitioners. Beginning in the latter part of the…
