And so we adapt

Abstract

ABSTRACT I begin with an evocation of my experience of community as-if climbing aboard a life raft of sorts during our 2019 “Adaptation” panel presentations at NCA. Then I explore how the concept and practice of adaptation has served me well, in multiple contexts, as I navigate what Simmons and Brisini call the “archipelagos” of discourse and practices that have formed the “transdisciplinary” (2) grounds of performance studies in/as communication.
