Claire Warden on modernism, professional wrestling, theatre and politics

Claire Warden tells us about her work as the lead academic on the brilliant Wrestling Resurgence, a project combining wrestling and research. She explores the modernist origins of professional wrestling, the haptic, touch-based nature of the art, and the mix of community, collegiality and competition built into wrestling. She also champions the importance of co-creation between researchers and practitioners, a commitment close to the A Bit Lit project too.
