- COVID-19 affected output statement
- The delayed publication (from November 2020 to March 2021) is entirely the result of COVID-19-related circumstances. For Dr Busby, who is neurodivergent, negotiating and managing the transition to online teaching severely affected her ability to address the final outstanding copyediting queries, deliver the manuscript for publication, and undertake proofing. The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama can provide a letter from the publisher on request verifying the original publication date. Dr Busby’s meetings with her advisor map two family bereavements, additional caring responsibilities during COVID for an elderly relative, and the slower working pace resulting from her mobility impairment.

- A 88,800-word single-authored longer-form output, ‘Applied Theatre: A Pedagogy of Utopia’ analyses transnational longitudinal applied theatre practices with marginalised and hard-to-reach communities in multiple contexts: prisons, youth theatres, informal and indigenous housing settlements, and shelters for youth in the UK, India, Costa Rica and the USA.
It provides a theoretical framework developed over an extended twenty-year period of practice research undertaken with precarious and bare citizens. It has involved the analysis of a large body of complex material generated through collaborative practice and research with communities to propose a five-stage process for ethical, sustainable and equitable applied theatre.
