  • Summary

    This chapter examines how the research methodology of learning-disabled theatre requires a different consideration of temporality. Tony McCaffrey draws on eighteen years’ work with Different Light Theatre in Christchurch, New Zealand to show how epistemic inequity between non-disabled and disabled participants inflects the outcome-led temporality of ‘inclusion’. He articulates that shifts need to occur from the rush to emulate non-disabled performance towards more speculative practice. The research methods of this practice encompass a more elastic notion of time, allowing for non-verbal, dysfluent rhetoric and a non-linear chronology of development in order to admit the possibility of learning from learning-disabled artists.
