Abstract of project
This PhD research centres around questions of embodiment and subjectivity in relation to contemporary theatrical performance within the remit of epistemology, in particular how the idea of the epistemic subject is engaged with at the point of contemporary theatre practice. It also tries to investigate the possibilities of applying a mapping system to the epistemic subject in performance.
