Abstract
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.
Keywords:
- Research-based theatre,
- playwriting,
- mental health,
- trans joy,
- trans studies,
- trans graduate students
Résumé
Cet article se demande quelles opportunités supplémentaires offre un cadre de création théâtrale axé sur la recherche (RbT en anglais) et informé par les expériences trans. En m’appuyant sur des extraits d’unepièce autoethnographique centrée sur mon expérience en tant qu’étudiante aux cycles supérieurs lors de mon coming out en tant que femme trans non binaire, j’explore des stratégies spécifiques et adaptablespour l’écriture dramatique RbT informée par les expériences trans. L’écriture dramatique est un élément central du processus de création en RbT. Les stratégies présentées ici peuvent éclairer la démarche despraticien·ne·s du RbT, que ce soit dans une salle de classe ou ailleurs.
