Finding Identity Through Directing by Soseh Yekanians
This practice-led auto-ethnographical monograph is an in-depth exploration into the field of theatre directing and an individuals endless creative pursuit for belonging. Yekanians innovative approach to the field of theatre directing addresses cultural effects relating to individuals who have struggled with ethnic identity and displacement.
Dr Soseh Yekanians is a senior lecturer in Theatre Media at Charles Sturt University. While her research focuses on understandings of Self, belonging and identity formation with specific reference to theatre directing, she is also fascinated with how theatre and the performing arts more generally, can speak to an individual’s sense of displacement. Dr Yekanians hopes that with more research on how cultural stereotypes manifest in individuals through the pressures of society and how these stereotypes are performed via theatrical representations onstage, performance as a cultural phenomenon can begin to break down harmful stereotypes and offer cross-cultural exchanges that develop and empower people’s (re)discovery of identity offstage.
