This collection of essays and interviews investigates current
practices that expand our understanding and experience of
performance through the use of state-of-the-art technologies. It
brings together leading practitioners, writers and curators who
explore the intersections between theatre, performance and digital
technologies, challenging expectations and furthering discourse
across the disciplines. As technologies become increasingly
integrated into theatre and performance, Interfaces of Performance
revisits key elements of performance practice in order to
investigate emergent paradigms. To do this five concepts integral
to the core of all performance are foregrounded, namely
environments, bodies, audiences, politics of practice and affect.
The thematic structure of the volume has been designed to extend
current discourse in the field that is often led by formalist
analysis focusing on technology per se. The proposed approach
intends to unpack conceptual elements of performance practice,
investigating the strategic use of a diverse spectrum of
technologies as a means to artistic ends. The focus is on the
ideas, objectives and concerns of the artists who integrate
technologies into their work. In so doing, these inquisitive
practitioners research new dramaturgies and methodologies in order
to create innovative experiences for, and encounters with, their
audiences.
