Volume 2 of Identity, Culture, and the Science Performance
investigates performances that illuminate the hidden recesses and
inscrutable mysteries of the natural and human-made worlds. While
the first volume of this series prioritizes public, outward-facing,
and activist work at the intersections of art and science, this
volume considers performances of localized, concealed,
inexplicable, or intimate phenomena, from the closed-door
procedures of biomedical trials to the impacts of climate change.
Interdisciplinary science dialogues have long been shaped by the
cultures and identity communities in which they arise and
circulate. The essays, interviews, and creative works included here
not only expose the historical and contemporary harms created by
exclusive and prejudicial processes in art and science, they also
contemplate how a diverse, inclusive body of science performers
might help deepen how we “see” the unseen forces of our
universe, contribute to novel scientific understandings, and
disrupt disciplinary hierarchies long dominated by white men of
privilege. This collection expands upon extant scholarship on
theatre and science by foregrounding identity as a crucial thematic
and representational element within past and present performances
of science. Featuring interviews with science-integrative artists
such as Lauren Gundersen (The Half-Life of Marie Curie) and Kim
TallBear (Native American DNA) as well as creative works by
playwrights Chantal Bilodeau and Claudia Barnett, among others,
Identity, Culture, and the Science Performance, Volume 2: From the
Curious to the Quantum proposes shifts in perspective and procedure
necessary to establish and maintain sustainable cultures of science
and art.
