Audience as Performer (eBook, PDF)

The changing role of theatre audiences in the twenty-first century

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Audience as Performer proposes that in the theatre, there are two troupes of performers: the actors and the audience. Although academics have scrutinised how audiences respond, make meaning and co-create while watching a performance, little research has considered the behaviour of the theatre audience as a performance in and of itself. This insightful book describes how an audience performs through its myriad gestural, vocal and paralingual actions.
