Sabada","doi":"10.3138/ctr.192.011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/ctr.192.011","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article focuses on the cultivation of anti-oppressive ethically engaged artistic practices within the realm of online storytelling, with particular attention to alternate reality games (ARGs). ARGs are immersive games that often involve the integration of elements of the real world within their storytelling but rarely advertise or acknowledge themselves to be games. In this article, I explore the possibilities engendered by this kind of digital performance and the ways in which this medium for theatricality may be more accessible for mad and disabled artists. ARGs and their peer mediums (like fictional vlogs and web series) have become increasingly more significant in terms of what they offer, especially during the pandemic. Given how these mediums have adapted to and continue to survive hosted among multiple sites and apps, including YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter, there is much to be learned from the kind of accessibility these methods of digital storytelling employ. To not acknowledge their place within theatrical spaces would undermine the full artistic and activist potential of this kind of art, and it is this article's intention to give credit to this emerging art form. In this article, I also draw on my own experience conducting ARGs. In particular, I examine how my first ARG helped me develop mobilization strategies for disability justice and how in doing this kind of work, my own understanding of lived experiences of madness and disability expanded as I learned from other alternate reality game makers and developers.","PeriodicalId":42646,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41379481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition from stage to aural streaming raised new ethical tensions in a project that was already deeply engaged in relational, community-oriented work. The removal of visible bodies (queer bodies, trans bodies, racialized bodies, Indigenous bodies, disabled bodies) from the play, which, onstage, presented and celebrated the multiplicity of intersectional queer identities, altered the structure of the piece and the ethical relationships we had built with audience members. The practices we adopted to address the ethical tensions in our staged play had to be re-examined for aural streaming. Problems of vulnerability and trust emerged in different forms. This article examines and explores the questions that were raised by aural streaming and the team's responses to these questions.","PeriodicalId":42646,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49152148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
