Hello,
I am a regular reader of this board, although I’ve never posted. I am also an academic. I am hoping some of you might want to respond to my research request.
I am writing an article on experiential and audience participation theatre, with particular emphasis on one-on-one productions and others that involve small audiences in confined, intimate, or complicated settings -- in other words, situations where an audience member/participant might feel awkward or conspicuous about walking out, or where a performer is particularly exposed or vulnerable to unexpected audience reactions. I am exploring how performers and attendees have been affected by the erasure of the traditional audience/performer boundary.
If you have been a member of the production or creative team involved in such a production, or if you have attended as an audience member, I would appreciate receiving any anecdotal reports you would like to share. I would also be interested in seeing scripts, treatments, production notes, or media reports that might address these situations.
My affiliation is with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. To minimize spam to my university account, I have set up an email account for your responses: unlvresearch1@gmail.com. If you contact me there, I can give you more information about the research project, and can also give you my actual university contact information.
If this posting violates any board protocols, I will be happy to amend it.
Thank you in advance!
