Repurposing Rage (or Rage Re-Boot)-- How Audience’s Outrage Supports Generative Processes in Theatre Making
(2023)
author(s): Nina Marlow
published in: Research Catalogue
This thesis explores process driven creation of new work over five months (April 2023 - August 2023) in Finland. Process included meditation in nature and performances of OUT RAGE, which asked audiences to participate by sharing a concern –outing a rage– with an eco-punk astral messenger. Final products were audience inspired potential products that integrated the overall process, including performance observations and reflections. As a theatre maker with an interest in social and environmental justice, I am invested in creating new work that speaks to the current human condition of our lack of agency on a dying planet. Embracing the certainty of global warming on a human scale, acknowledging anger in society without inciting violence, and then creating new work informed by a collective of participants are at the core of this thesis.
The impact of the audience on the actresses

Welcome to Dalida Shaheen's exposition Master's candidate in acting program and actress. Firstly, in 2019, I played a role of a woman who got married to a married man, after the series aired to the public the role fired back on me. I observed audience's reaction exceeded everyone’s expectations. The audience is divided into two parts the first part is about the women who expressed their anger in a very aggressive and strong way, and the second part who was exciting to the character. The first part of the audience used several offensive, strong, and insulting words. The audience’s reaction was very emotional, and they used all the tools to express their feelings for example, they used social media platforms and verbal violence when they see me in the street. Hayat is the character I have created to explore my questions in my short fil.
The film is the method I used to explore my questions of what would happen when the audience can’t distinguish between the role and the actor’s real character, What is the impact of the audience on the actresses?
'Beware the Danger of Merging': Conceptual Blending and Cognitive Dissonance in the work of IOU Theatre
(2015)
author(s): Deborah Middleton, Tim Moss
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
This exposition introduces and analyses the work of British-based IOU Theatre, a company that has been exploring intermedial theatre and installation since 1976. IOU's work, we suggest, is characterised by their particular strategies for juxtaposing or fusing images, materials, and artistic media. We explore this aspect of IOU's practice through the lens of emergent cognition by drawing on Fauconnier and Turner's (2002) theory of conceptual blending.
While Fauconnier and Turner's work applies broadly to the process underlying many cognitive acts, their model enables us to develop a nuanced understanding of IOU's particular creative 'blends' and to identify a 'resistance to the blend’ that proves essential to the IOU aesthetic.
The authors have included first-person accounts of some of their own cognitive experiences in response to IOU's work as a way to track the application of conceptual blending in the reception and analysis of an artistic artefact or experience.
The exposition both introduces to a wider readership examples of IOU's oeuvre and proposes a reading of conceptual blending as a tool for understanding creative processes, analysing artistic artefacts, and discussing audience reception – in works that particularly exploit creative collisions of imagery or media. In this way, it is our intention to contribute to artistic research a methodology for analysis and a lens through which some key artistic strategies can be illuminated. Our approach may be of interest to those concerned with the making, analysis, or reception of artistic work that is intermedial in the broadest sense.
“It’s probably just me”: The Literacies of Pervasive Sound Narratives
(2015)
author(s): Elizabeth Evans
published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
This article explores how The Memory Dealer reveals the multiple literacies at stake in pervasive, transmedia, multimodal drama that open up new relationships between player, text, technology and space. In contrast to much scholarship on digital and media literacy, which focuses on children, the focus here is on adults who are already well versed in a range of media-related literacies, including “new” forms such as videogames and digital media, but are simultaneously not “digital natives”. Three specific forms of literacy emerge: narrative, technological and geographical-logistical. When participants came across moments of difficulty with these literacies, they articulated this failure as a form of personal inadequacy. At the same time, key diegetic components such as music, setting and performance aided their re-learning of how to locate and understand TMD’s narrative.
