ABSTRACT
This article explores the critical potential of theatre practice as research in interdisciplinary environmental contexts. It does this with specific reference to The Performic Cycle, a practice as research methodology that brings environmental adaptation thinking into conversation with vital materialist and critical disability scholarship through experimental participatory performance practice. The Performic Cycle emerged through a series of neurodivergent-led theatre practice as research projects (The Panarchy Projects, 2017-2020), and has since then been tested out in a number of participatory, interdisciplinary and cross-art-form environmental contexts.
