dc.description.abstractThe following thesis chronicles the process of creating, developing, rehearsing, and performing a solo theatre piece entitled MAD GIRLS LOVE SONG. The aim of this research is to create a solo performance of non-linear vignettes using poetic and gestural language that addresses my fear of being seen as a creator. By doing so, I hope to challenge theatre practices that impede bisexual visibility. MAD GIRLS LOVE SONG, a one-woman theatrical event, has arisen in response and relationship to the research, borrowing structures from other art forms, such as modernist poetry. By prioritizing the organization of theatrical time over linear story chronology, the theatrical event uses a queering of linear form to underscore the autobiographical queer content. As theatrical narrative has primarily been occupied by heterosexual voices, MAD GIRLS LOVE SONG is an exploration of how an alternative theatrical timeline may support bisexual content, and therefore visibility, on stage.
