Space in performance : making meaning in the theatre

McAuley, Gay1999
Books
Theatre, as distinct from other dramatic media, is essentially a relationship between performer, spectator, and the space in which both come together. 'Space in Performance' examines the way theatre buildings function to frame the performance event, the organization of the audience and practitioner spaces within the building, the nature of the stage and the modes of representation it facilitates, and the relationship between the real spaces of the theatre and the fictional places that are evoked. The book's multifaceted approach will engage thatre and performance studies specialists, as well as those concerned with the aesthetic experience and semiotic theory.
