This thesis looks at the ways in which performance can integrate participants and local context into the development of new devised work. This practice-led research is based on a methodology that grew out of three performance case studies completed in diverse international settings with a varied range of participants. The case studies are: Napoli Scorticata completed in 2007 in Naples, Italy; Youth Visions, completed in 2008 in Northeastern Ghana, West Africa; Triangulated City, completed in 2009 in Beirut, Lebanon. Within these diverse contexts the research questions the role of authorship when working in socially engaged practice, focusing on how practitioners can shift the focus from the artist to the body politic. Merging social engagement with a site-responsive approach, the research proposes that the artistic medium is the social system and as such argues that the modes of employment require a focus of appreciation on the generative process, context and product combined. The research is presented in two parts. Part I is an interactive DVD with images of the development process and final presentations as well as a video of each performance work. Part II is a written thesis that explores the modes of engagement, outlines the methods of development and structures a general working methodology that can be referenced by other performance practitioners. The thesis proposes Applied Live Art as a term to describe practices that include a hybrid of time-based media options, which include a social component as their primary focus. The research outcomes conclude with an analysis of place making and its importance when working with both site and society.

On the way done in this dissertation is possible to question this relationship, following it from the following points: taking art as the biographical and autobiographical scheme, taking it as connected to sublimate and finally looking set it as the outline of the empty. In the latter sense has the art as a testimony of how the unconscious operates. To explain the unconscious manifestation in the art were used two tragedies that occupy a privileged place in very theoretical construction of psychoanalysis: Oedipus and Hamlet. For this, the authors were consulted from inside and outside the psychoanalytic field as Freud, Lacan, Rancière and Brecht. Note that the concept of pathos emerges as a nodal point, able to see through the plays, the unconscious operation. In addition to the parts, appear at the end of this dissertation, in order to continue the discussion of a "beyond the Oedipus complex," the four fundamental discourses as a third example of the unconscious functioning. / A relação entre a arte e a psicanálise se estabelece desde o surgimento desta última com o lançamento ao mundo do conceito de inconsciente. No percurso realizado nesta dissertação é possível problematizar essa relação, acompanhando-a a partir dos seguintes pontos: tomando a arte como o esquema biográfico e autobiográfico, tomando-a como vinculada ao sublimatório e, por fim, buscando defini-la como o contorno do vazio. Nesta última acepção, não desvinculada das anteriores, tem-se a arte como testemunha do modo como opera o inconsciente. A fim de explicitar a manifestação inconsciente na arte foram utilizadas duas tragédias, que ocupam lugar privilegiado na própria construção teórica da psicanálise: Édipo e Hamlet. Para isso foram consultados autores de dentro e de fora do campo psicanalítico como Freud, Lacan, Rancière e Brecht. Vale destacar que no meio das leituras o conceito de pathos surge como um achado e se coloca como ponto nodal, capaz de fazer ver, por meio das obras do teatro, a operação inconsciente. Além das peças, aparecem no final desta dissertação, a fim de continuar a discussão de um ―para além do complexo de Édipo‖, os quatro discursos fundamentais como um terceiro exemplo do modo de operar do inconsciente.
