Based on documented conversations with performance makers and artists we set out to find answers to the following questions: • How does performance and creative processes produce thought and critical thinking? • What kind of ‘thinking machine’ is theatre and performance? • What model of research does performance create? • What can we learn from making processes where there is no sharp distinction between making art and doing research?

The project has resulted in the publication Dramaturgy and Research in Devised Theatre, published by the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (AMU Press), 2023. The projects and its findings also fed into Synne Behrndt’s keynote address Dramaturgy and Artistic Research: Methods and frictions, delivered at the conference CARPA8 Solvitur Ambulando“ solved by moving” Dramaturgies of Artistic Research. The keynote has been published in the Proceedings of CARPA8, Nivel 21 Publication Series of the Theatre Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki.
