Abstract
This re-view of a research process dedicated to unearthing and theatricalising the lived experience of women casual academics ‘promiscuously’ (Childers et al. Int J Qual Stud Educ 26(5):507–523, 2013) breaks the cardinal rule of academic writing by introducing new ideas into the conclusion. Such stretching of academic convention allowed me to discuss the storying nature of women casual academics’ communication, and accommodated research participants and audiences’ reflections on the theatricalization of women casual academics’ stories. These reflections captured the political potential of theatre, a cognitive, corporeal and emotional response to theatricalised research, and the capacity of arts-informed research to radically transform research data and audiences’ engagement, to celebrate a multiplicity of stories, storytellers, and story forms through which we can communicate research stories.
