A Research Report submitted towards a MAAD by Course Work and
Research Report / This is an auto ethnographic project in which I explore how my personal and cultural narratives can
be used for healing and transformation through a theatre making process. I look at performance as
an object of making meaning while placing myself at the centre of the study as the subject of this
research. During this process, I was looking at discovering a personal theatre making language with
an aim of finding my voice. The outcome of my journey was an experimental creative project titled
Eenganga which was performed in an alternative and nontraditional
form in terms of space, text
and the overall theatre making process. This study is an account of a journey that initially began as
a performance ethnography project which collected cultural narratives of black urban traditional
healers from Katutura, Windhoek, Namibia. There was an internal and an external data collection
process. My body as a site of knowledge was the main research instrument.
