"Moving-With" Anastasis Corporal, a Path to Implicated Witnessing
Hart, Sarah Ashford
Research in Drama Education, v28 n1 p66-82 2023
This article thinks through a practice-as-research exploration of facilitating active listening to the testimonies of female victims/survivors in Colombia, bridging a theoretical gap between applied theatre and performance studies by extending understanding of theatre's impact in contexts of transitional justice beyond visibility to an affective register. Rebuilding relationalities torn by war requires collective healing to overcome widespread trauma, disconnection and apathy. By "moving-with" recorded testimonial performances, sharing visceral responses via Zoom, witnesses feel more "implicated" in histories of violence. Fomenting shared "response-ability" in this way -- through listening from the body -- offers a form of resistance to the normalisation of violence.
