Theatre Audience Contribution introduces a new approach to theatre
audience research: audience contribution through the
post-performance discussion. This volume considers the physical and
vocal behaviour of audience members as an integral part of the
theatrical event that changes, adds to and informs the theatrical
experience. Post- performance discussions, although rising in
popularity, are yet an under-explored and under- utilised avenue
for audience contribution. Beginning with an overview of reception
theory and the historical role of theatre audiences, the author
introduces a new method for the facilitation of post- performance
discussions that encourages audience contribution and privileges
the audience voice. Two case studies explore post-performance
discussions that inform the theatrical event and discover a new
role for the contemporary audience: audience critic. This
accessible volume has significant implications for theatre
theorists, practitioners and audiences alike.
