ABSTRACT

DC: What exactly have we done and how have we done it? As a given phase of any research project nears its conclusion, it pays to undertake a process of forensic self-reflection. This final chapter takes the form of a dialogue between Laurene and myself, who together represent a small but perhaps strategically positioned sample of the multidisciplinary diversity of this project – the Circus Oz Living Archive – that we’ve been working on for the past four years. The dialogue form, although relatively unconventional in scholarly writing (Plato notwithstanding), seems apt for the theme of performative making that runs through this project.
