Theories of the digital posit and new understandings of the body and materiality, and new technologies posit new bodies and new materialities.

数字场景是否扩展了观众的身体能力？我们如何概念化物理和虚拟场景空间的同时体验？在数字场景中，身体和环境是如何相互作用和影响的？我们能否将后人类舞台设计的经验理论化？这些问题对于舞台设计和身体之间更广泛的关系意味着什么？我想发展一种后人类舞台表演经验的理论，并以此为基础建立舞台表演如何作用于观众的学术研究。这个以实践为主导的博士课程将借鉴数字理论，这些理论认为新技术开辟了新的感知模式，并对现有的体现概念提出了问题，将这些理论与围绕场景设计的观众体验的现有话语结合起来。这种理论方法将与一系列沉浸式物理和虚拟场景空间重叠的中间表演一起发展。

Sub questionsHow do digital scenographies extend the bodily capacities of audiences?How do we conceptualise the simultaneous experience of physical and vitual scenograhic space?How do body and environment act on and affect one another in the context of digital scenographies?Can we theorise a post-human experience of scenography?What might these questions mean for the relationship between scenography and the body more broadly?I would like to develop a post-human theory of the experience of scenography, and in doing so to build upon the scholarship on how scenography operates on its audience. The proposed practice-led PhD will draw on theories of the digital that argue that new technologies open up new modes of perception and problematize existing notions of embodiment, bringing these theories together with existing discourses around the audience experience of scenography. This theoretical approach will be developed alongside a series of intermedial performances where immersive physical and virtual scenographic spaces overlap.
