- Title
Theatrical Reflections of Health: Physically Impacting Health-Based Research.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article explores the intersection of theatre performance and the dissemination of health research. A collaboration between health scientists and theatre artists to develop After the Crash, a play about brain injury based on health research knowledge, highlights differing methodological approaches and expectations of the ultimate theatrical outcome. Specifically, this article discusses how performed representation of the body contributes to the dissemination of health research through the lens of After the Crash. This relationship is explored in two ways: first, how embodied performance strays from traditional science-based dissemination methods; and second, the use of abstract movement in the context of a theatrical performance to reflect scientific health-based research. Future directions are also discussed to continue to draw parameters around the formal connection between theatre performance and health research.
