Reflective Affective Dramaturgies of Participatory Theatre
Larping Audiences into Performance
About this book
As the popularity and diversity of participatory theatre productions increase, scholarly and artistic attention toward the audience as agentive contributors and interpreters must keep pace. Simultaneously, the COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency to the collective artistic encounter and its value to individual and community health. This book proposes "reflective affective" dramaturgies of participatory theatre aimed toward incorporating participants' reflections and affective responses as material in an emergent exploration of represented systems of power. The volume's interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks stem from performance studies discourses including feminist materialism, phenomenology and affect theory, bringing them together with larp scholarship on character/self performance, agency and emergence. Through its integration of the practical and theoretical, this work serves as an essential study for scholars, students and artists in theatre studies, performance studies, visual art studies, role-play studies, cultural studies, and philosophy.
