The popularity of participatory work with audiences is greater than
ever, but the invitation to participate is rarely given attention
as a feature of performance, or an important element of practice in
its own right. This book presents a theory of audience
participation in the theatre, based on the importance of the moment
of invitation and how an event changes character when such an
invitation is made. The materials from which theatre performance is
made expand to include the audience participant's body and social
being, with the participant's prior experience and expectations,
and their embodied, affective response to the performance becoming
of vital importance. Attending to this expanded set of performance
media allows us to begin to articulate the aesthetics of
participation, and thereafter to consider the ethics and politics
of participation more precisely.
