Abstract

This session presents a collaborative sociology-library-theatre project that uses devised performance as a tool for qualitative research into individuals’ experiences with family immigrant stories. The team created two original dramatic pieces from archival materials, and used audience reactions to explore deeply-held feelings linked to personal objects. The project uses Johnny Saldaña’s work on ethnodrama to articulate “archival drama”, a bridge between arts, humanities, and social sciences.
