- Synopsis
- "Intermediality": the incorporation of digital technology into theatre practice, and the presence of film, television and digital media in contemporary theatre is a significant feature of twentieth-century performance. Presented here for the first time is a major collection of essays, written by the "Theatre and Intermediality Research Group" of the" International Federation for Theatre Research," which assesses" intermediality in theatre and performance. " The book draws on the history of ideas to present a concept of intermediality as an" integration of thoughts and medial processes," and it locates intermediality at the" inter-sections situated in-between" the performers, the observers and the confluence of media, medial spaces and art forms involved in performance at a particular moment in time. Referencing examples from contemporary theatre, cinema, television, opera, dance and puppet theatre, the book puts forward a thesis that the intermedial is a space where the boundaries soften and we are" in-between and within a mixing of space, media and realities, with theatre providing the staging space for intermediality. " The book places theatre and" performance" at the heart of the 'new media' debate and will be of keen interest to students, with clear relevance to undergraduates and post-graduates in Theatre Studies and Film and Media Studies, as well as the theatre research community.
