This book articulates a new method for performing the research interview, transforming it into a living performance space. Submitting the first Creative Practice PhD in Education at the University of Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand, Luton explores how researcher-in-role and theatrically framed sites invite participants to co-create data through enactment, re-speaking, and devising—culminating in the creation of Data-Dramas.
Generating stories of melancholy and resilience with six international drama educators, Luton reveals how creative practice doctoral research can foster well-being, deepen artistic identity, and capture rich, embodied knowledge with relevance far beyond the arts.
This pioneering book introduces the “feminine,” a dimension of film not reducible to women’s experience. Exploring this Jungian concept through movies spanning seven decades, it enhances the appreciation of film as a depth psychological medium.
