Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Theatre.
Looking at the intersection of applied theatre practice and matters of rural and intragroup stigma, this dissertation argues that by sharing stories rural youth co-create social and cultural capital. Such capital, in turn, supplements existing long-term efforts to address stigma and to a certain extent offsets the limited opportunity structures that impact rural young people. Drawing on three case studies conducted over the 2019-2020 academic year, I detail the influence of rural and intragroup stigma on the social and cultural capital of the young rural participants, as well as the subsequent impacts of applied theatre practice. While all three case studies prioritize participant experience, they otherwise vary: from an in-school residency facilitated in rural Wisconsin to an after-school program observed in Nelsonville, Ohio to a touring youth ensemble formally based in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Although not broadly generalizable, the variety of case studies provides a breadth of examples intended to spark future applied theatre practice and research with rural young people.
