How to be a superhero: stories of creating a culture of inclusion through theatre

Jaskolski, Kaitlin Orlena-Kearns 16 February 2022 (has links)
This thesis investigates the use of Inclusive theatre to disengage the ‘disabled'/ ‘non-disabled' binary for transformation to inclusive cultures. The research extends existing scholarship in Inclusive and applied theatre practices by documenting selected case studies in west and southern Africa. A sociocultural lens defines disability as a social construct, problematizing community reactions, systemic oppression and societal barriers as the disabling force rather than any physical or cognitive impairment. A series of participatory action research projects explore inclusion through an applied theatre praxis and critical/performance ethnography. Progressive pedagogy informs the methods, ethics, and values of each cross-cultural inclusive project. Participants with neurodivergent, or atypical (dis)abilities are contextualized as heroes within the metaphoric framework of the hero's journey as popularized by Joseph Campbell. Campbell's stages are juxtaposed with project workshops and performances to emphasize the universal application of inclusion, and the educational power of storytelling. The primary journey follows the development of Nigeria's premier inclusive theatre company; from drama-as-therapy beginnings to their professional performance of How to be a Superhero: A Guide to Saving the World. Supplementary projects with Hijinx Theatre in Lesotho and the Oasis Association in South Africa provide stories of igniting hidden talents and overcoming the obstacles that create barriers to inclusion in both the arts and society. An enabled dramaturgy details accessibility, authenticity, engagement, transformation, and aesthetics to debate the allies/enemies of inclusive theatre. Each project reveals the boons of adapting practices through considerations of accessibility, accommodations, and modifications. The culminating performances of each project provide evidence that storytelling, building relationships, transforming and engaging participants and audiences through theatre forges empathy, increases representation, and encourages visibility. Psychologist Philip Zimbardo argues that “Heroism can be learned, can be taught, can be modeled, and can be a quality of being to which we all should aspire.” (2011). This research, inspired by Campbell and Zimbardo, argues that inclusion, like heroism, can be learned, taught and modeled through theatre to create a culture of inclusion.

"if i am a phoenix..."

Huff, Jasmyn 05 1900 (has links)
An essay and short story collection about rebirth and being trans and neurodivergent. The essays and stories cover the entire length of my MA, but are mostly written before I came out as trans and edited after. The arc follows this discovery as well as the discovery of my writing following more experimental means including the twisting and playing with the braided essay, the introduction of essaying moves to fiction forms, and moving from what I thought was about death to what I realized I was writing all along about rebirth.

What is the ART of ADHD SoMe Acting : and how is it artistically relevant for everyone to know?

Lindman, Alexander January 2023 (has links)
During my master program in acting 2021-23 at Stockholm University of the Arts I coined the term deneurotypicalize and a definition of art as ART to guide my now and future work of trying to deneurotypicalize acting technique and understand what the ART of the SoMe Actor might be and do and and if there is or should be a difference between a neurotypical and neurodiverse way of applying oneself and communicate with said audience on said platform(s)? This all resulted in over 150 pages of written words, and a great deal more written documentation; a performance lecture on the 2nd of May 2023 with a Q&amp;A, several short films and Social Media interactions, 3 Surveys about ADHD-acting and art, 3 events on Scenkonstbiennalen (2022); and this master thesis and a research catalogue page with a more general documentation, too. ADHD, ART, Social Media and acting is more connected than I first realised, maybe because ADHD-actors have an affinity for ARTing which can be, and not be, an asset during ARTistic-processes. Lots of further research is needed, and in larger quantities. The ADHD relation to the arts might seem obvious because the out of the box thinking, hyperfocus, hyperfixation and only being able to follow your strongest passions and interests but it can also be because the rest of the society isn’t built for ARTing or ADHD-people which makes the field of arts so alluring. And maybe more often than we’d like to admit: also a very all consuming — especially if all the ARTistic-processes are based upon neurotypical standards — energy draining (and worst case scenario a death) trap. / Under mitt masterprogram i skådespeleri 2021-23 vid Stockholms konsthögskola myntade jag termen deneurotypicalize (avneurotypikalisera) och en definition av konst som ART för att vägleda mitt nu- och framtida arbete med att försöka avneurotypikalisera skådespeleritekniken och förstå vad the ART of/ADHD Socialamedie-skådespelarkonsten är och kan vara och göra och och om det finns någon skillnad eller borde vara skillnad mellan ett neurotypiskt och neurodiverst sätt att applicera sig och kommunicera med nämnda publik på nämnda plattform(ar)? Allt detta resulterade i över 150 sidor med skrivna ord och mycket mer skriftlig dokumentation; en performanceföreläsning den 2 maj 2023 med en Q&amp;A, flera kortfilmer och sociala medier interaktioner, 3 undersökningar om ADHD-skådespeleri och konst, 3 evenemang på Scenkonstbiennalen (2022); och denna masteruppsats och en forskningskatalogsida med mer allmän dokumentation. ADHD, ART, sociala medier och skådespeleri hänger mer ihop än jag först insåg, kanske för att ADHD-skådespelare har en fördel när det kommer till att kontsta (ARTing) som kan vara, och inte vara, en tillgång under KONSTnärliga processer (ARTistic-processes). Det behövs mycket mer forskning, och i större mängder. ADHD-relationen till konsten kan tyckas uppenbar på grund av out of the box-tänkande, hyperfokus, hyperfixering och bara kunna följa dina starkaste passioner och intressen, men det kan också bero på att resten av samhället inte är byggt för att konsta (ARTing) eller ADHD-människor som gör konstområdet så lockande. Och kanske oftare än vi skulle vilja erkänna också: en väldigt allförbrukande - speciellt om alla konstnärliga processer är baserade på neurotypiska standarder - energitömmande (och värsta scenariot en dödsfalls-) fälla. / <p>Since this is an artistic work there was an IRL examination of my performance lecture on the second of May 2023 and also an examination of this master thesis of 127 pages on the 26th of May 2023 that both were passed by Ulrika Malmgren. And, also a research catalouge page https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1398260/1398261 that will be published at the same time as this thesis: all three is a part of Alexander Lindman's IDP at Stockholm University of the Arts. All interlinked; all stand alone.</p>
