Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 2023.

This dissertation explores the impact of evolving media and technology on theatre audiences and the consequent performative labour of tech-savvy spectators. In the context of increasing use of digital devices, some theatre and performance-makers are challenging audiences with interactive art projects that make use of ubiquitous technologies. By examining this mode of performative spectatorship through critical scholarship on video games, the dissertation offers insight into the nature of interactive theatre and performance-going and the ethics of demanding so much from the public. The project uses a comparative methodology to examine video game-like performances and engage with theatre companies and artists who use intermedial interventions to encourage dynamic interactions between the audience and the artwork. The analysis is organized into three categories: animated components of installation art, theatrical events where audience input changes the action on stage, and alternate reality games where spectators take on roles in the production. Close reading and analysis of the creative process and ultimate performance of these projects provide substantive material to explore the implications of interactive intermediality.The first chapter of the dissertation aims to explain why concepts from video games are useful in analyzing performance events. It delves into key ideas about games and gamers, highlighting how the process of playing a game is a creative project that involves imagination and problem-solving. The second chapter focuses on art objects that require observer engagement to animate them, challenging traditional notions of liveness as a quality inherent in objects/performances themselves. Instead, the chapter considers liveness as a state of being produced by spectator engagement. The third chapter explores theatre and theatre-like performances and examines the ethics of making audiences conspicuous within the frame of the performance event. Using the gaming concept of ludonarrative dissonance, the chapter suggests that spectatorial unease can be ethically or socially productive. Finally, the fourth chapter demonstrates how alternate reality games can serve as community-building enterprises that mobilize participation both within the game world and without. Overall, the dissertation offers insights into the nature of interactive performance events and spectatorship, using video game concepts and ideas to illuminate these phenomena.
