It brings together leading practitioners, writers and curators who explore the intersections between theatre, performance and digital technologies, challenging expectations and furthering discourse across the disciplines. As technologies become increasingly integrated into theatre and performance, Interfaces of Performance revisits key elements of performance practice in order to investigate emergent paradigms. To do this five concepts integral to the core of all performance are foregrounded, namely environments, bodies, audiences, politics of practice and affect. The thematic structure of the volume has been designed to extend current discourse in the field that is often led by formalist analysis focusing on technology per se. The proposed approach intends to unpack conceptual elements of performance practice, investigating the strategic use of a diverse spectrum of technologies as a means to artistic ends. The focus is on the ideas, objectives and concerns of the artists who integrate technologies into their work. In so doing, these inquisitive practitioners research new dramaturgies and methodologies in order to create innovative experiences for, and encounters with, their audiences. -------- Contents: Introduction, Maria Chatzichristodoulou and Rachel Zerihan; Creative media: performance, invention, critique, Sarah Kember and Joanna Zylinska; Part 1 Environments: Environments, interactions and beings: the ecology of performativity and technics, Chris Salter; Blurring the boundaries: performance, technology and the artificial sublime - an interview with Ruth Gibson and Bruno Martelli, igloo, Janis Jefferies.
