Abstract
Can creative self-expression support women to gain or claim their voices? This research explores the dialogic nature of self-reflective questions in oracle cards as provocations for theatre and investigates if and how these provocations can assist women with self-expression. A sample deck of oracle cards – including self-reflective questions – were crafted and then tested as provocations for playwriting. These cards were used in practice-based research to explore how they may elicit vocality, employing practice-led research as a methodology and playwriting as a method. Through the creative process, themes centred around gender-based violence emerged. These practice-led insights merge gender-based violence's loss of identarian agency and research on vocal studies to provide a possible practice-based avenue to support women to recover their voice-as-agency post-violence.
