Transdiscipline - In the Search for New Forms of Theatrical Expression

By Lily Aurora Marquez Tamayo

This document describes and analyses the process of research and production for the experimental play Via Marina: A womans journey. Based on a personal experience between the Mexican and the Canadian lifestyles, Via Marina presents a vision toward the benefits of transdisciplinarity for the stage. By definition, transdisciplinarity is a new approach marked by the rapid advance of technology that seeks to create new areas of knowledge working between, across and beyond disciplines. For my Masters project I experimented among New Media, Women's Studies and Theatre Arts to learn to intertwine these disciplines on stage by creating a theatrical production based on a transdisciplinary technique. As a result of two-years of practical and theoretical research, the creation of the production Via Marina tries to break the conventional theatre forms using a transdisciplinary mixture of video, dance and feminist exploration of gender roles. It is just the beginning of the development of a new language transcending disciplines in my work as actress, director, artist - woman.
