In recent years, interdisciplinary collaboration between artists and social scientists has received sustained interest from many members of the academic community. However, cross-disciplinary work is often more difficult than presumed. Epistemological and methodological differences between disciplines create barriers that may impede collaborative projects. This article explores some of the unique tensions and challenges that arose from the creation of `After the Crash', a research-based theatre production about traumatic brain injury. Through the narrative lens of the project's dramaturg, we explore moments of interdisciplinary tension, and the possibility for the role of the dramaturg to build bridges between disparate methods of knowledge generation and translation.

Key Words: dramaturgy • health research • interdisciplinary collaboration • theatre • traumatic brain injury
