This volume brings together dynamic perspectives on the concept of
liveness in the performing arts, engaging with the live through the
particular analytical focus of audiences and experience. The status
and significance of the live in performance has become contested:
perceived as variously as a marker of ontological difference, a
promotional slogan, or a mystical evocation of cultural value.
Moving beyond debates about the relationship between the live and
the mediated, this collection considers what we can know and say
about liveness in terms of processes of experiencing and processes
of making. Drawing together contributions from theatre, music,
dance, and performance art, it takes an interdisciplinary approach
in asking not what liveness is, but how it matters and to whom. The
book invites readers to consider how liveness is produced through
processes of audiencing - as spectators bring qualities of
(a)liveness into being through the nature of their attention - and
how it becomes materialized in acts of performance, acts of making,
acts of archiving, and acts of remembering. Theoretical chapters
and practice-based reflections explore liveness, eventness and
nowness as key concepts in a range of topics such as affect,
documentation, embodiment, fandom, and temporality, showing how the
relationship between audience and event is rarely singular and more
often malleable and multiple. With its focus on experiencing
liveness, this collection will be of interest to disciplines
including performance, audience and cultural studies, visual arts,
cinema, and sound technologies.
