Drawing on practices ranging from psychogeography and auto-ethnographic writing to embodied autobiographical training and performance (Carreri 2014, Magnat 2013), Gocmen Adimlar disrupts the boundaries between private studio and public street, laboratory and community theatre. Forging a methodology of performance research with non-professionals, the research contributes to key debates regarding the identification of methods and impact in practice as research, and participation and inclusivity in socially engaged arts and performance. Echoing the growing significance of walking as a way of articulating and challenging the contemporary city,...

By bringing together two separate research projects, an ethnographic study of labour patterns and a participatory community theatre project (Migrant Steps), they examine the effects of neoliberalism on this particular demographic and critically assess possible strategies of resistance. The chapter asks if and how engaging with London outside the dominantly Turkish-speaking neighbourhoods may constitute a form of resistance and lead to positive transformations in the place of women within the home, the community, and the city, to greater freedom and empowerment, and to creating a space in which women can identify and define themselves outside the boundaries of being wife, mother, or daughter.

The one who beats both Achilles and the hare; the one who paralyses himself to sleep and then wakes up to announce the spring; the one who, at will, can store sperm up to two years before she allows her eggs to be fertilized. Lonesome George, the last of his kind, apathetically fighting extinction with his Swiss girl-friend; Boncuk, whom we saved from a forest fire so that he could simultaneously eat and walk on cucumber peels; and The Tortoise from the Blade Runner humanity test “You’re in a desert, you see a tortoise, you flip it on its back…” the world rests on a tortoise is a practice-as-research project focusing on the tortoise as a container in which we can engage with our relationship to home, to space, to earth, to distances, to lights, to time, to age and to agelessness, to conservation, to extinction, to death, to hibernating, to burrowing, to being invisible, to reappearing, to keeping goin...

Exploring the practical containers and methodologies that emerged during the PhD with other performers from different backgrounds, the project continues to examine the dynamics of remembering and forgetting underlying the actor’s engagement with archetype as well as to further investigate the relationship between clown and tyrant.
