Presence, 2019–2022
Our understanding of “presence” has made an epochal shift in the past three years. The field of performance studies—never settled, always in flux—is shifting as well on this topic, as what we study expands digitally, contracts physically, embraces new paradigms, and unlooses others. While it is impossible to fix an exact time when attitudes about something as ineffable yet entirely real as presence changed permanently, this issue touches down on …
Remote CTRL
This essay examines how strategies of post-dramatic theatre, which include interactivity, co-determined meaning, and an often deliberately porous relationship between reality and representation, are being employed by performance artists and activists to exert pressure on habits of passive spectatorship and immobilized ethical responsiveness that have been induced by spectacular representations of war in mainstream media, entertainment, and theatr…

Ambushed by Empathy
George Brant’s Grounded explores the ethical complexities of military drone use through the story of an Air Force pilot who, after the birth of her daughter, is re-commissioned to pilot drones over Afghanistan from the Nevada desert. The play reveals the devastating costs of contemporary warfare, as well as the possibility for empathy through systems of global surveillance
Exercise Section
The following section, ‘Mixed-Media Performance Exercises for the Classroom’, is an unprecedented one-off section for IJPADM, which we intend as a practical handbook or user’s guide for scholars, artists and students interested in exploring media in the classroom. As co-editors of this special issue, Elise and Jen were fortunate to be working with Linsey Bostwick, a long-time creative/producing collaborator with Big Art Group and many other New Y…

In this article, I focus on several contemporary performance art pieces that stage critical artistic interventions into quotidian scenes of contemporary sociopolitical surveillance. These ‘surveillance art’ works strategically redeploy mainstream surveillance technologies in order to defamiliarize and disrupt the normalized operations of surveillance within public space and everyday life. Out of the broad range of tactics and aims shared by surve…
