PhD Research - Queen Mary UniversityHer words are heard - Collective theatre making as a healing experience.
I am a PhD candidate at Queen Mary University of London, supervised across the Department of Drama and the Centre for Psychiatry. My practice- based research explores the experiences of collaborative theatre making, tests how such experiences can foster the integration of personal and collective content and interrogates what the resulting effects means to participants in terms of wellbeing. The research is based on the Luna Project - a theatre group of women who survived forced displacement and gender based violence. |
