“Stories work with people, for people, and always stories work on people, affecting what people are able to see as real, as possible, and as worth doing or best avoided”
Arthur Frank, 2010, p. 3
Resources
Ethnodrama Film
This short film, based on our work (Cavallerio, Wadey, Wagstaff, 2021) on the experience of sport parents having to deal with issues related to overuse injuries and abusive youth sport environments, was shot by the talented Michael Bruce of Katerpiller Films.
Graphic Novel
This nonfiction comic was drawn by Becky Palmer to illustrate the creative nonfiction story written by Francesca Cavallerio (Cavallerio, Wadey, & Wagstaff, 2016). The data was collected over a 1-year ethnography, which focused on understanding the cause of development of overuse injuries in gymnasts. The question is, where is the line between overuse injury and non-contact physical abuse?
Poems in Pictures
These data-poems were created in response to the scandal in Italian rhythmic gymnastics that has been developing since October 2022. They are part of a manuscript currently in preparation, but here have been presented together with drawings by Becky Palmer, which represented her own embodied reaction to the poems.
Embodied Poetry
Working with some of the same data-poems above, dancer and PhD researcher, and rhythmic gymnastics survivor Klaudia Wittman created a coreography that capture her embodied response to the stories portrayed in the poems.
