Medicines of uncertainty: in a more-than-human world, how might polyvocal, practice-based performance methods reimagine spaces of hope following spells of illness?A diagnosis of cancer is essentially a diagnosis of uncertainty: it undermines an imagined future. This enquiry responds to the University of Exeter Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health (WCCEH) call for engaged medical humanities research, exploring the complexity of health experiences beyond the scope of evidence-based medicine (Williams & Carel, 2018). A strength of my approach lies in the symbiosis of engaged practice-based methodologies, critical academic thinking, polyvocal narratives and lived-experience of cancer. The research is supervised by Dr Bryan Brown, University of Exeter Department of Drama, and Dr Maria Vaccarella, University of Bristol Department of English.In an ever more uncertain world, I propose that this research affords nuanced academic enquiry together with outputs, including artworks, delivered in engaging formats. Leading performance scholars, Heron & Kershaw argue that such open-ended material and embodied research foregrounds perception, awareness and intuition rather than more explicit cognitive processes. This creates space for uncertainty and ambiguity, what they call 'play-space', where novel insights can emerge. In this way, the creative practice as research - which emerges from uncertainty - performs the research question (as artist William Kentridge, explores with such clarity).Drawing on my transdisciplinary background in archaeology and visual art, I am aesthetically inspired by archaic magico medical artefacts, including Renaissance pop-up anatomy books and folding almanacs worn on the body of Medieval doctors. I plan to study collections in the Wellcome Library, the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museum. These agentic, social objects join a collective of human and more-than-human research participants, invited into dialogue. My community partners include Soundart Radio 102.5FM Dartington and Maketank performance space, Exeter. Performative theories, including New Materialism, are concerned with relational flow, blurring boundaries between subject and object in a reconfiguring of agency, causality and becoming. This research seeks to model tacit and multifaceted ways of knowing located in the interference patterns between "the body as experiential landscape" (Reid, 2010), and dialogue with others. It braids together studio and community arts practice, attentive listening, writing and diagramming, and engaging with materialities to enact and query knowing, thus bringing unrecognised or marginal realities into view. This is a productive route to explore unimagined ways of thinking, depicting and talking about transitional health points within the life course, grounded in lived experience. The study seeks to activate a redistribution of performative agency in more-than-human narratives of illness. Ultimately, performance medicine provokes this "not only by embracing dialogue, discomfort, uncertainty and open-endedness, but also by mobilising hope [...] that imagines how things could be different and then tries to effect change" (Bolaki, 2016).

不确定性的药物：在一个比人类更大的世界中，多角度，基于实践的绩效方法在疾病咒语之后会如何重新构想希望的空间？诊断癌症的诊断本质上是对不确定性的诊断：它破坏了想象中的未来。这项询问对埃克塞特大学卫生和环境环境中心（WCCEH）呼吁进行敬业的医学人文研究，探讨了循证医学范围之外的健康经历的复杂性（Williams＆Carel，2018年）。我的方法的优势在于基于实践的方法论，批判性学术思维，多重叙事和癌症的生活经验的共生。这项研究由埃克塞特大学戏剧系Bryan Brown博士和布里斯托尔大学英语系玛丽亚·瓦卡雷拉博士进行监督。在一个越来越不确定的世界中，我建议这项研究提供细微的学术询问以及包括艺术品的成果，包括艺术品以引人入胜的格式交付。领先的绩效学者Heron＆Kershaw认为，这种开放式的材料和体现的研究前景感知，意识和直觉，而不是更明确的认知过程。这为不确定性和歧义创造了空间，他们所说的“游戏空间”可以在其中出现新颖的见解。这样，作为研究的创造性实践（从不确定性中出现）就会执行研究问题（作为艺术家William Kentridge，以如此清晰的探索）。绘制我的考古和视觉艺术的跨学科背景，我在美学上受到了古老的启发。手工艺品，包括文艺复兴时期的弹出式解剖书籍和折叠在中世纪医生身上的折叠年历。我计划在Wellcome图书馆，Ashmolean和Pitt Rivers博物馆学习收藏。这些经纪人的社会对象加入了人类和超过人类研究参与者的集体，并邀请他们进行对话。我的社区合作伙伴包括SoundArt Radio 102.5FM Dartington和Maketank Performance Space，Exeter。表演理论，包括新的唯物主义，关注关系流，主体和对象之间的界限模糊，以重新配置代理，因果关系和变成。这项研究旨在模拟“身体作为体验景观”之间的干扰模式中的隐性和多方面的认识方式（Reid，2010年），并与他人对话。它将工作室和社区艺术实践，细心的聆听，写作和图表编织在一起，并参与实质性来制定和查询了解，从而使未经认可或边际现实的现实融入了看来。这是一条富有成效的途径，可以探索不可思议的思维方式，描绘和谈论生活中生活经验的过渡健康点。该研究旨在激活比人类的疾病叙事中的表演代理重新分布。最终，表演医学不仅通过拥抱对话，不适，不确定性和开放性来激发这种激动，而且还通过动员希望[...]想象事物如何有所不同，然后试图实现变化的希望”（Bolaki，2016年））（2016年） 。
