'Actors always talk about what the audience does. I don't
understand, we are just sitting here.' 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, and considers the
following questions: If the audience are performers, who are their
audiences? How have audiences' roles changed throughout history?
How do talkbacks and technology influence the audience's role as
critics? What influence does the audience have on the creation of
community in theatre? How can the audience function as both
consumer and co-creator? Drawing from over 140 interviews with
audience members, actors and ushers in the UK, USA and Austrialia,
Heim reveals the lived experience of audience members at the
theatrical event. It is a fresh reading of mainstream audiences'
activities, bringing their voices to the fore and exploring their
emerging new roles in the theatre of the Twenty-First Century.
