Drawing on theories of intermediality, Liveness on Stage explores how performances that incorporate film or video self-reflexively stage and challenge their own liveness by contrasting or approximating live and mediatised action. To illustrate this, the monograph investigates key aspects such as 'ephemerality', 'co-presence', 'unpredictability', 'interaction' and 'realistic representation' and highlights their significance for re-evaluating received notions of liveness. The analysis is based on productions by Gob Squad, Forkbeard Fantasy, Station House Opera, Proto-type Theater, Tim Etchells and Mary Oliver. In their playful approaches these practitioners predominantly present such media combination as a means of cross-fertilisation rather than as an antagonism between liveness and mediatisation. Combining an original theoretical approach with an in-depth analysis of the selected productions, this study will appeal to scholars and practitioners of theatre and performance as well as to those researching intermedial phenomena.CDE studies ;Volume 25.TheaterGreat BritainHistory21st centuryTheaterTechnological innovationsGreat BritainExperimental theaterGreat BritainElectronic books.TheaterHistoryTheaterTechnological innovationsExperimental theater792.0941/09051HN 1274rvkGeorgi Claudia1979-1027464MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459759403321Liveness on stage2442919UNINA
