“Weaving a body out of words”:Playwriting strategies for trans-informed research-based theatre
Keywords:
Research-based theatre, playwriting, mental health , trans joy, trans studies , trans graduate studentsAbstract
This article addresses the question: What are the expansive possibilities offered by a trans-informed Research-based Theatre (RbT) creation framework? Drawing on excerpts from an autoethnographic playscript which centres on my experiences as a graduate student while coming out as a nonbinary trans woman, I explore specific and adaptable strategies for trans-informed RbT playwriting. Playwriting is an essential component of the RbT creation process, and the strategies explored in this article may inform RbT practitioners’ approach in the classroom and beyond.
