Abstrakt
In this thesis I will analyse and go through my motivations and methods of working within the frame of the everyday in my performances, using its familiar structures and ways and twisting them to find new perspectives and creativity within our social reality, making the familiar strange and the strange familiar. I explore what it is that makes us find some things more convincing as truth than others, by comparing together the aesthetics of truth and the aesthetics of fiction, and connecting that to my own work through examples.  During my masters studies I experimented with using the formats of cooking and guided tours as dramaturgical frames throughout couple of different performances and projects. Even though these two formats dont seem to have very much in common, I used both of them as a frame to explore similar themes, playing around with notions from process theory, questioning the logics and thoughts we connect to time, efficiency, readiness and destinations. I go through my preferred ways of working with mundane everyday places and audience participation, and analyse how these different social structures of cooking and guided tours affected those ways.  I list the tools and working methods I developed through this research and go through my inspirations during the process, connecting my themes and thoughts to artists and theorists working with similar approaches or themes.
