Playing with intimacy & intensity: an interdisciplinary network for participatory performance practice.

业绩文化正在发生变化。有一个转向好玩的邀请，以激烈和亲密的接触，这是证明流行的艺术家和观众。观众在表演中被吸引到丰富的，有时是危险的体验中，而不是在一个安全的距离，通常是通过结构化的游戏或好玩的挑衅。在戏剧、现场艺术、舞蹈、游戏和应用艺术中正在进行的各种工作可以被视为一个动态但分散的研究和发展项目，涉及互动、参与和相遇，以及游戏和表演在当代文化中的作用。有必要加强这些学科之间的联系，加强对每种情况下出现的参与性业绩的子学科的共同理解，从而激发实践和理论方面的新的研究方向。这个网络汇集了那些明确和含蓄地研究有趣的亲密和激烈的参与，涉及艺术家，学者和艺术家学者跨越和艺术形式和学科交叉点之间，以激发对这项工作的艺术潜力和道德复杂性的共同见解和富有成效的反思。拟议的网络是国际性的，具有在这一系列艺术形式和学科中创建和理论化表演实践的专业知识，具有在写作和表演中实现高质量和高影响力成果的能力。表演文化的这些变化正在发生，国际文化产业中参与性表演的增长没有减弱的迹象。这项研究的紧迫性在于，需要跨学科的以实践为导向的研究，涉及来自交叉艺术形式和学科的实践者和理论家，并对其带来更深入的理解，以加强和推动创新的实践回应，以应对亲密和强烈参与的复杂伦理和美学挑战。

Performance culture is changing. There is a turn towards playful invitations to intense and intimate encounters, that is proving popular with both artists and audiences. Audiences are being drawn into rich and sometimes risky experiences in the middle of performance, rather than at a safe spectatorial distance, often through structured games or playful provocations. The diverse work that is going on in theatre, live art, dance, gaming and applied arts can be seen as a dynamic but diffuse project of research and development into interaction, involvement and encounter, and into what play and performance can become in contemporary culture. There is a need to make stronger connections between these disciplines, to enhance shared understanding in the sub-disciplines of participatory performance that are emerging in each case, and thus to stimulate new directions of enquiry in practice and theory. This network brings together those who explicitly and implicitly research playfully intimate and intense participation, involving artists, academics and artist-academics across and between the intersections of art forms and academic disciplines, to stimulate shared insight and highly productive reflection on the artistic potential and ethical complexities of this work. The network proposed is international, with expertise in creating and theorising performance practices across this range of art forms and academic disciplines, with proven ability to achieve high quality and high impact outcomes in writing and performance. These changes to performance culture are happening now, and the growth of participatory performance across international cultural industries shows no sign of abating. The urgency of this research is that interdisciplinary practice-oriented research, involving practitioners and theorists from across intersecting art forms and disciplines with the deeper understanding it will bring, is needed to enhance and drive innovative practical responses to the complex ethical and aesthetic challenges of intimate and intense participation.
