The Problems of Viewing Performance challenges long-held
assumptions by considering the ways in which knowledge is received
by more than a single audience member, and breaks new ground by,
counterintuitively, claiming that viewing performance is not a
shared experience. Given that viewers come to each performance with
differing amounts and types of knowledge, they each make different
assumptions as to how the performance will unfold. Often modified
by other viewers and often after the performance event, knowledge
of performance is made more accurate by superimposing the
experiences and justified beliefs of multiple viewers. These
differences in the viewing experience make knowledge surrounding a
performance intersubjective. Ultimately, this book explains the how
and the why audience members have different viewing experiences.
The Problems of Viewing Performance is important reading for
theatre and performance students, scholars and practitioners, as it
unpacks the dynamics of spectatorship and explores how audiences
work.
