Residence Plan
During my residency, I will research the phenomenology of acting, specifically exploring the phenomenon of character/persona, its wearability, its source of emergence, and its role in humans' objective and subjective senses of being and placement in the world. In addition, I also intend to explore Japanese philosophical traditions on questions of the body. In particular, I will research Nishida Kitaro's work on the relationship between the subject and the world.
