Don't duck your head! notes on audience experience in a participatory performance
Abstract
By introducing the transdisciplinary political dance production Parcival XX-XI and exemplifying two participatory scenarios out of the play, we discuss the audience's appreciation of interactive digital media usage within the traditional frame of theatre. In this context, we developed a short-guided interview to be conducted with members of the audience after each performance, planned as an on-going evaluation. Based on 15 interviews, we present four reasons of why the audience tends to (not) duck the head when asked to participate in Parcival XXXI : Fear, fun, frustration and schadenfreude.
