Reviews
"This is the first monograph to consider the political potential of online performance, offering a valuable discussion of direct audience engagement and active participation strategies employed in political practices of cyberformance. The volume is highly recommended for practitioners in theatre and media alike, as well as students and scholars engaged in Practice as Research." - Maria Chatzichristodoulou, London South Bank University, UK
"Christina Papagiannouli's book is a timely addition to writings about theatre in a digital era, and in particular experimental performance on the Internet. Her discussion of a directorial response to this fast-developing scene – geared around facilitation rather than auteur-like instruction – provides a reflective challenge to several hierarchical and dramaturgical norms." – Andy Lavender, University of Surrey, UK
