This volume examines afresh the impact upon acting and performance of digital technologies. It is concerned with how digital culture combines the traditional ‘liveness’ of theatre with media interfaces and internet protocols. The time and space of the ‘here and now’ are both challenged and adapted, just as barriers between theatre-makers and the ‘experiencers’ of events are broken down. Today many of us are everyday players performing the interconnectedness of digital culture and a key aim of the book is to unpack the multiple interrelations within the landscape of contemporary performance. Access to a range of ‘instances’ (The Builders Association, Castellucci, Castorf, Gob Squad, Lepage, Second Life and VJing) is through ‘portals’ which afford perspectives on the main characteristics of theatre and performance in the digital age.

Reviews for Mapping Intermediality in Performance
"Bold, incisive and engaging, Mapping Intermediality in Performance goes further than any book to date in tracing the nuanced interrelationships and metamorphic interplays between digital media and the performance arts. It provides the reader with authoritative overviews of key ideas and performances, opens up fascinating new trajectories of thought, and fuses theory and practice with explosive effect. A magnificent achievement that is likely to set critical agendas in the field for many years to come." - Steve Dixon, Professor of Digital Performance, Brunel University "Reading this book is like surfing the web: it not only maps intermediality in performance - it exemplifies it." - Philip Auslander, Professor, School of Literature, Communication and Culture, Georgia Institute of Technology
