Yesterday afternoon I was board, so I decided to tap my girlfriends name into google, and I can say that what I found was revolutionary. It turns out that, a few years ago, Lyn worked with Mike Pearson on a couple of projects at the uni of aberystwith, Wales. Professor Pearson is an theatre practitioner; I looked him up. I found his 2001 article, devices and desires, co-written with Lyn, and it blew me away. It articulates something I’ve been wondering about for years – the question of whether I, as a disabled man, am a subject or an object in relation to others. Moreover, it places this question in the wider context of cultural and theatre studies. The article struck me as ground-braking, as well as setting me in awe of Lyn. I think I’ve fallen in love with her all over again – her strength, her vibrancy, what she represents. I cannot do justice to the article here; nor can I yet fully explain why it fascinates me, but it was like finding my own personal G.U.T right under my nose.while i’m not saying that her decision to become lyn was artistically or politically motivated, it has both artistic and political ramifications: it says that all barriers can be crossed; that masculinity and femininity can be re-read; that disabled people are not just people with disabilities. As professor pearson wrote, people like Lyn force us to reevaluate our beliefs, and make us question our very subjectivity.
