Making it Your Own: A Study Room Guide on social engagement & participation

Notes

Study Room Guide: Making it Your Own

FrenchMottershead’s Study Room Guide is about participation and socially-engaged works, in which the frame proposed by the artist is open, and allows participants to make their involvement their own, taking it to a point that the artist could not have reached alone. This Guide directs you to key artworks and texts in the Study Room (and beyond) in which the artist’s intention is to engage the audience in the work. The Guide is available to view in our Study Room, or can be downloaded as a pdf.

Experiments in Listening
Artist/Author: Rajni Shah | Reference: P4203 | ISBN: 9781538144299 | Type: Publication

Through an exploration of both practice and theory, this book investigates the relationship between listening and the theatrical encounter in the context of Western theatre and performance. Rather than looking to the stage for a politics or ethics of performance, Rajni Shah asks what work needs to happen in order for the stage itself to appear, exploring some of the factors that might allow or prevent a group of individuals to gather together as an ‘audience’.
