Performing Selves : Distance and Identification in the Experimental Performance Work of Imitating the Dog (ITD), Desperate Optimists and Insomniac Productions.
This thesis counters the common postmodern privileging of distance over identification within artistic practice. After Brecht, identification in the theatre has predominantly been imagined as a conservative operation that always aligns us with the status quo. These theories could be described in …
