Intermedial Performance

This group will discuss a range of intermedial possibilities, transformations and/or issues at the interart juncture of live and recorded performance. We shall open up a forum to discuss the communicative systems of a range of art forms, which interact within the medium of performance. A media-saturated world has inevitably transformed traditional notions of performance and has inspired new perspectives and aspects of performance theory. The whole framing act of communication has been brought up to re-evaluation, since in intermedia transfer, more than one communicative systems are yoked together, but never solely into parity, or purely into rivalry. This is the exciting area which we are going to discuss and interrogate. There will be seminars and symposium/conference. Convener: Dr Clara Armand

Intermedial Perfomers and Companies

As part of my practise based PhD, I am looking for examples of contemporary intermedial* performers and companies. Examples I have found areĀ Jo Scott and Shana Moulton, and the companies Forkbeard Fantasy and the Theatre group 1927.

If there are any others people know of please post! Thankyou:)

*"Chapple and Kattenbelt argues that "the intermedial is a space where the boundaries soften-and we are inbetween and within a mixing of spaces, media and realities. Thus, intermediality becomes a process of transformation of thoughts and processes where something different is formed through performance ... as a re-perception of the whole, which is re-constructed through performance"(2006: 12)."
