music-theatre:
the metadiscursive possibilities of interdisciplinary practices
In this paper I will revisit the implications of Wittgenstein's assertion
that 'no representation can fully contain the means by which it represents'
in relation to the current academic requirement that practice-based research
must be reflected on discursively, and the assumption that language is
the metadiscursive medium that positions itself outside other modes of
representation. I will suggest that if any mode of performance is understood
as an interdisciplinary practice engaged with multiple discourses, the
different disciplines may themselves enter into metadiscursive relationships
with each other. I shall examine these
epistemological issues in relation to my own critical practice as a maker
of music theatre work with the company Post-Operative Productions
