Abstract
As we noted in Chapter One, this chapter shifts our attention toward the primacy of the body and embodiment in performance, and to understanding its practical relationship to words, to things, and to time and spaces. Performance scholar Philip Auslander argues that theatre offers audiences “a fuller sensory experience than mediatized performances” (Auslander, 1999, p. 55).
