Actors and Audiences explores the exchanges between those on and
off the stage that fill the atmosphere with energy and vitality.
Caroline Heim utilises the concept of "electric air" to describe
this phenomenon and discuss the charge of emotional electricity
that heightens the audience's senses in the theatre. In order to
understand this electric air, Heim draws from in-depth interviews
with 79 professional audience members and 22 international stage
and screen actors in the United Kingdom, United States, France and
Germany. Tapping into the growing interest in empirical studies of
the audience, this book documents experiences from three
productions - The Encounter, Heisenberg and Hunger. Peer Gynt - to
describe the nature of these conversations. The interviews disclose
essential elements: transference, identification, projection,
double consciousness, presence, stage fright and the suspension of
disbelief. Ultimately Heim reveals that the heart of theatre is the
relationship between those on- and off-stage, the way in which
emotions and words create psychological conversations that pass
through the fourth wall into an "in-between space," and the
resulting electric air. A fascinating introduction to a unique
subject, this book provides a close examination of actor and
audience perspectives, which is essential reading for students and
academics of Theatre, Performance and Audience Studies.
