Defining the Subject Area
I am widely investigating into political,
forum and feminist theatre. I am
interested in researching into Feminism; the history and development of the
movement in conjunction with theatre within the context of war. During a war, women’s roles and
relationships within society change and I want to explore women’s ‘voice’ in
the context of war through theatre. How agitprop theatre and feminist theatre has or is being
used. War is a very broad area as each war is different, each country will be
different and it will be dependent on what time period the war is - I understand I will need to narrow this down
Action: what am I going to do to test my research?
•I
am going to read and look at the books I
have put in my reference pages and also find more relevant books to further my research
•I
will also use the internet to discover and investigate into modern feminist
theatre companies used within a war context
•Visit
the V&A and Imperial War Museum for primary research
Conclusion
I
feel I need to do more research into connecting feminist theatre with war. At
the moment, I have starting points and basic knowledge of feminist theatre but
haven’t applied it to the context of war enough. I need to decide how I will do
this; whether I need to choose a specific culture, country or time period
within war, and see what theatre exists/existed for and by women to help create
the link. Or, choose a few different cultures or a few different wars which I could compare each other with?
