The Unmarked Measure – Measuring Performance on the Transdisciplinary (Playing) Field

The paper discusses my experience as a teacher and dramaturg in an on-going transdisciplinary project titled The Unmarked Measure, based at the University of Regina. This project investigates the boundaries, both institutional and perceptual, confronting the body across three disciplines. In this regard, the paper explores the liminal meeting of the analytical tools used for measuring the body in performance between biomechanics (Physical Activities Studies), intermedia performance (Visual Arts), and dramaturgy (Theatre). The examination reveals a potency and potential of transdisciplinary boundaries, while exposing the ‘blind spots’ of each and thereby engendering new, hybrid tools for analysis between these disciplines.
