Repurposing performed research texts for new audiences: the ‘Colin’ monologue

Authors

Abstract

This article is based on my recent work as an ethnodramatist where I have been exploring the benefits of repurposing existing performed research texts for new audiences. I have found that a sense of audience and its requirements primarily dictate the modifications that need to be made to the original ethnodramatic text. Other important considerations that inform the repurposing process include who will perform the text and in what context the performance will take place. The script on which this article is based is a monologue I wrote and performed to teacher candidates. It is about ‘Colin’, a drama teacher candidate. His story first appeared in an educational ethnography I wrote for my doctoral studies.
