Abstract
The Reason I Jump was a series of performances conceived and directed by Graham Eatough based on the book of the same name by Japanese autistic teenager, Naoki Higashida. Commissioned and developed by the National Theatre of Scotland over three years the final performances took place in specially designed outdoor maze by Dutch artists Observatorium, and involved a company of autistic performers including non-verbal performers. The performances took place over tow weeks in June 2018 on the North Kelvin Meadow and Children's Wood in Glasgow. This project continued Graham's practice as research into dramaturgy of site, collaborative dramaturgy and adaptation as well as his interdisciplinary practice between theatre and visual art. The project also furthers Graham's research interests in autism and performance and was a part of the Scottish Government Limitless initiative for which Graham is a member of the steering group.
