Abstract
This creative practice PhD interweaves the relational and experiential positioning of its emerging storytelling with their exegetical thinking to study ways towards a telling together with more-than(-human) utterances in story development and the screenplay text. Screenwriting hands, restless, (re-)searching feet, are joined by diverse utterances as they explore perspectives beyond narratives of the human protagonist. While screen practices are increasingly concerned with being more sustainable and inclusive of the more-than(-human) on a material level of production, story development and the screen narrative itself often continue to be based on a (Western) anthropocentric thinking that favours characters as humanlike protagonists. Efforts of diversification are typically addressed as a matter of representations on the screen, and less so on the collaborative level of how we tell our stories together. Adapting a relational and experiential, rather than representational, approach, this research considers inclusions of the nonhuman on an atomic level, which questions the ways we think with others through our language. Using a practice of more-than story development, I approach screenwriting as an entangled process in which characters and their telling emerge as the outcome of a semiotic process to which the screenwriter provides the narrative positioning of their experiential, relational and textual markers.
