dc.description.abstractAs technology increasingly dominates lived experience in the 21st-century, theatre artists are moving beyond traditional boundaries, harnessing the energy of popular media to tell stories in innovative ways. The aesthetic languages of these works often fragment, distort, or magnify layers of meaning to produce profound, novel expression of theatrical experiences that cannot be separated from their media elements. This dissertation explores an original hybridisation of transmedia technologies and bricolage scripting in order to interrogate how a combination of live performance and transmediated images can deepen the representational capacity of the portrayal of post-traumatic experience in the process of creating theatrical artworks. Exploring how theatre performance can harness the communicative power of technologies in imagistic, symbolic, and metaphorical ways – with the intention of offering distinct strategies for the exploration of the representation of post- traumatic experience – this dissertation further reflects on the process of hybridisation, the relationship between desired aesthetic outcomes, and the various elements connected to the process of bricolage creation. The practical components of this research project explored the reliance of live theatre on physical presence in conjunction with ephemeral technologies which, despite their lack of tangible substance, constitute much of our daily lives. The development of practical dramaturgical strategies, such as bricolage scripting and transmedia storytelling, contributed to the production of a full-length theatrical artwork-in-progress: Will You Stay and Watch Me Dying? The process involved in the creation of this production concentrated on excavating psychological dynamics in a sociological historical context and metaphorically staging the complexity of those dynamics through the physical assemblage of text, images, and live bodies on stage.en
