How the lived experiences of black women can be understood through devised theatre informed by psychophysical actor training: an adaptation of the Tadashi Suzuki actor training technique
In this study I aim to use my body as a tool to derive themes for use in performance making and to underpin this in theory. I focus on aspects of Tadashi Suzuki (1986) actor training (referred to as Suzuki training), free writing and the body. I use black feminism, cognitive neuroscience and body …
