Abstract
ABSTRACT While pain pulls us to retreat into our personal experiences, the theory and practice of autoethnography invites us to offer the hyper-personal up as radical social engagement. Applying and adapting physical therapy techniques as movement vocabulary, this autoethnographic performance explores the empathic relationships that converge as individuals encounter the U.S. medical system, documents and describes living with pain, looks at practices of coping through crafting, and tackles difficult conversations around health and happiness. The performer and director build their performative relationship by challenging the interiority of conceptualizing pain and demonstrating the relations between empathy and performance.
