Opis

What does immersive theatre do ? By contrasting two specific performances on the same theme - one an 'immersive' experience and the other a more conventional theatrical production - Nandita Dinesh explores the different ways in which theatrical form impacts upon actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work Pinjare (Cages) sets out the hows and whys of her specific aesthetic framework. Memos from a Theatre Lab places Dinesh s practical work within the context of existing analyses of immersive theatre, using this investigation to generate an underpinning theory of how immersive theatre works for its participants.
