Her dissertation tracks the appearance of "freaks" in contemporary/late 20th century American literature and performance, and argues that "performing freakishness" is a technology of the self that enables historically marginalized bodies to (re)claim their own representation. Her work articulates theories of embodiment across narratives of bodily difference in both the literary and performing arts, and combines disciplinary approaches from literary theory, cultural studies, and performance studies. A performer herself, Costa is interested in finding the intersections of theory, practice, and the material body on the stage and on the page.
