Through the development of this script with three actors I have found techniques for performance and workshopping to encourage multilingual creative practice for a playwright. Through case studies of playwrights doing similar work at an international level, I have synthesised analytical and creative research into a final script and summary of my dramaturgical findings. Through creative practice in scriptwriting and developmental workshops, this research explores what story-telling modes, devices or styles seem particularly apt for conveying an inclusive and engaging trilingual narrative on stage. This specifically involves developing a dramaturgical set of insights for others who may want to do cross-language performance in Aotearoa.application/pdfenAll items in Research Commons are provided for private study and research purposes and are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.theatreDeafNew Zealand Sign Languagemaoridecolonisingalex lodgeplaywrightaotearoatrilingualheteroglossiashaun faheycian parkerkaite o'reillyhone koukaNZSLvisual vernacularsyncretic theatrescript developmentcase studiesplaymarketdavid o'donnellmoko smithactorskinaestheticactor traininglanguageworkshopmonologuepakehamodel of disabilityaccessaccessibilityaesthetics of accessgraeae theatredeafautoethnographydisabilityartperformanceperformance studiescreative practiceintersectionintersectionailtylaura haugheysalonicaalys moodyDeaf Maorivisual languagevisual languagescolonisationoralistbrechtianbrechtmodernist dramanarrativediscoursemarvin carlsonsign-assisted englishcaptionside-textTuhoeohinemutuThesis2020-05-21
