- For my research, I had the opportunity to visit the archives and discover some incredible artifacts. Among them was a fully annotated script of the play I’m analyzing. The pages are very old and fragile, and it was thrilling to look through them. However, reading the annotations has been challenging—partly because I haven’t been exposed to much cursive writing, and partly because some pages are quite messy. Still, this artifact has proven to be an invaluable primary source, offering insight into the artist’s own thought process during the performance. Having access to her annotations has allowed me to narrow the scope of my research this summer to finding a philosophical framework for understanding the body that performs the very markings I now study.

- This is a picture from the archives which was my favorite place to do research in. Outside of the archives I love doing work in one of the Joes on campus whenever they are not too loud!
