However, the politics of immersive theatre aesthetics still lacks a substantial critique. Does immersive theatre model a particular kind of politics, or a particular kind of audience? What's involved in the production and consumption of immersive theatre aesthetics? Is a productive audience always an empowered audience? And do the terms of an audience's empowerment stand up to political scrutiny? Beyond Immersive Theatre contextualises these questions by tracing the evolution of neoliberal politics and the experience economy over the past four decades. Through detailed critical analyses of work by Ray Lee, Lundahl & Seitl, Punchdrunk, shunt, Theatre Delicatessen and Half Cut, Adam Alston argues that there is a tacit politics to immersive theatre aesthetics - a tacit politics that is illuminated by neoliberalism, and that is ripe to be challenged by the evolution and diversification of immersive theatre. 000755427 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 01, 2016). 000755427 650_0 $$aPerforming arts$$xAudiences. 000755427 650_0 $$aParticipatory theater. 000755427 650_0 $$aExperimental theater. 000755427 650_0 $$aTheater audiences. 000755427 650_0 $$aTheater$$xProduction and direction. 000755427 852__ $$bebk 000755427 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-48044-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755427 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755427$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755427 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755427 980__ $$aBIB 000755427 982__ $$aEbook 000755427 983__ $$aOnline 000755427 994__ $$a92$$bISE
