Abstract
ABSTRACTThrough this reflection on ageing and occupationally damaged bodies in performance, I argue that a probody aesthetics is fundamental to generating and sustaining care in community-engaged theatre projects. Such aesthetics is concerned with adopting a body-centric approach to making community-engaged theatre and arts, which insists artistic creations and acts of creation could be a form of care provision. Informed by the medical sciences, probody aesthetics consciously highlights care at the level of anatomy and biomechanics. In this article, I propose somatic ergonomics, physical ergonomics and collaborative ergonomics as ways of advancing understanding of probody aesthetics towards implementable practices.
