Looking for Fruit in the Jungle: Head Injury, Multimodal Theatre, and the Politics of Visibility.
Burn, Andrew; Franks, Anton; Nicholson, Helen
Research in Drama Education, v6 n2 p161-77 Sep 2001
Describes a collaborative piece of theatre made by members of Headway, a charity working with head-injured people, and students and staff at Parkside Community College, an 11-16 school in Cambridge, England. Considers how the piece employs multimodal forms of expression and representational resources to challenge the invisibility of disability, and to perform a narrative of identity and resistance pieced together from combinations of memory, aspiration and polemic.
