"Neuroemergent Insurgence: Disrupting Methodology, Valuing Emergence, and Embodying Inquiry in Practice and Performance"
Chrissy Martin’s research emphasizes the importance of embracing unique identities and neurological aptitudes by legitimizing the bodymind as a site for practice-based research in the classroom and on stage. Challenging binary and normative frameworks, she introduces a non-method for practicing and performing that values process, identity, and sociocultural context. The ways in which neurodivergent, queer bodyminds navigate and express themselves through movement invites the co-creation of knowledge by inviting the audience to do, speak, and think with her.
